I can't get out, pleeease help me!"  The cute little dragongirl screams... moments before Johan's blade sinks into her belly.<br/><br/>“I don't need you to cut my food for me!” I snap, “I'm a big girl who can handle herssself,” I hiss, my voice growing more siblant as my predatory snake-side surges to the fore. “That's usselesss, girl,” I hiss, “your ssso-called friendsss have abandoned you.”<br/><br/>The dragon-girl's weak struggling feels incredible, and I can't help but massage her back, rubbing my soft flesh against hers, scraping my scales against her sensitive points. I want her to moan, oh, yes, I want to here her sorceress's voice cry out...<br/><br/>"Please, d-don't kill me...I don't want to die! I s-surrender!” Aniel cries. “We all surrender! Throw down your weapons! DO IT!"<br/><br/>“Nice try,” I hiss approvingly, “but it doesn't sseem your friendsss are lisstening. I acsssept your sssurender,” I squeeze her just a little more tightly. “Now sstop sstruggling sso I can ssend you ssomeplace ssafe.”<br/><br/>My gaping lips make quite, quite clear where that safe place is going to be.<br/><br/>“Sssquirm a bit,” I tease her, “but ssurrendered prissonerss sshouldn't try to esscape, or they might die-gessst in the attempt.”<br/><br/>I see the fairy-filled catgirl charging down on Johan... not a cause for concern. Either he takes her, or she devours him, and either way they'll both be rescued eventually. I'd have been more worried if she'd attempted to escape.<br/><br/>Then I catch sight of the catboy, looming over Chrys, licking his lips,<span style="font-style: italic">clearly</span>thinking about salvaging a snack from a battle lost before his flight. I think, for a moment, about what I might do, consider the powers of the goddess on my tongue-tip... and come up blank. What I really need is something like the sorceress's<span style="font-style: italic">sleep</span>spell...<br/><br/>I spin the sorceress around in my coils, so she's facing Chrysanthemum and the catboy looming over her – coincidentally blocking her view as Thygor savages the warrior-woman he'd been fighting, a small kindness – whilst shifting and uncoiling to free the dragon-girl's hands. “Sssave my friend,” I hiss, “I asssure you your sssituation will improve sssignificantly,” but there's real pain in my eyes, and a touch of vulnerability. “Pleasse.”<br/><br/>OOC: I... guess I'm trying to do this as a free action (slithering down on the girl was my round-three, I think, so I need to wait till next round before 'acting' again), so I don't think I get the benefit of any checks. However, diplomacy roll if required... 27! Wow, good rolling today... It is an honest offer, however. Whilst Asara will probably still swallow the dragon-girl to keep her out of trouble, she'll definitely press Johan hard to recruit the dragon-girl if she helps Chrysanthemum.<br/><br/>Even if she doesn't, the surrender-acceptance is also for real, though Asara does mean to eat her – Asara won't digest her, and will let her out after the fight, so long as she doesn't struggle. Not that Asara is guarenteeing her safety from the others once she's released though.
