D'awwwwwww. The brief period of initial is well worth it to have her deer friend sleep with her. Feeling her curled up underneath the blanket but on top of Kira, it's a comforting, reassuring presence. Kira hopes it will bring pleasant dreams to her mind, as he conscious slips off into the realm of sleep.

Neela's presence serves a practical purpose. It actually is cold in the house, and her body heat and especially the blanket help to keep the heat up for her.

Drifting off to sleep, Kira sees herself on a grass covered hill under a blue sky with a single puff of cloud. There's a trio of dandelions sticking out of the ground, and past it Kira sees a figure she recognizes. It's hopper the goat, with his two curled horns, and though he wears no bell nor collar, there is a depression in his fur implying one is regularly worn. He extends his muzzle, as he did before, to see if Kira has any food for him. But unlike before, he realizes his mistake early and moves his head back. All the same, his small tail moves back and forth a single time, and he lets off a "bah". He looks at Kira with his golden eyes, as if in intrigue.

Dream Kira looks at Hopper with sad eyes. She doesn't know if she's merely dreaming of the goat, or if this is truly her meeting with Hopper's soul, joined into her being. She reaches out with a hoof, if the goat will let her, and attempts to gently pet him between his ears and behind his head.

Kira gets to finally pet him. The white fur is longer than it looks, and softer too. He's almost like a fuzzy pillow in how the hairs, when rubbed against the grain, come up in long, soft strands. He looks up towards Kira with his golden eyes. Perhaps it's difficult to ever really sympathize such odd, horizontally slit eyes. Maybe he feels the same about her vertical eyes, which betray that though she may falsely appear to the unsuspecting to be a pony, she's a snake at heart.

"D'awww. You really are a cute little goat." Scritch scritch scritch goes her hoof betwen and behind his ears, watching how you move, flop, and twitch to react to her touch. Kira sighs. "I really am sorry about eating you, and...well, everything else surrounding it. I know it's nature for all animals to eat, be they predators or prey. Heck, even fungi eat the decaying remains of plants, and even plants themselves 'eat' the sunlight to live. But I'm still saddened that...that my survival means I have to eat other creatures. You're a living being with a soul just like me, after all. Don't you have a right to life just as I do?"

Goats don't normally let Kira get this close. Hopper was a little odd in that regard, walking right up to her, thinking she was there to give him a treat. He comes closer, evidently trying to sniff her, before looking up at Kira and again staring into her eyes. There's something oddly accusatory in his eyes. Or perhaps it isn't odd at all.

That's actually kind of funny. Posey's looking for that 20 foot python

Actually, Kira is supposed to pick up a zebra (we'll see if that happens...) on the way to work.

I'm not sure what Posey can or should do for the moment.

>I'm not sure what Posey can or should do for the moment.
Well, Posey would normally be going home right about now to write her report and work on her blockbusting scheme to scam Glass Horizons out of the property.
She's still here because you expressed intent to have the party assemble to begin the next quest here. Idk what that entails for now, but I assume that means it's better for me to stay put.

Bone Nagas are one of the few undead creatures that are forced to obey their masters for an indefinite period after creation, which makes naga bones priceless for necromancers.

The other stallion walks up to Jakala, who sits on top of the sled, and sits down next to her. He says,

"Little Jäkälä Kenttä." He says, and places a hoof on her hood-covered head. "If you're going to come along. You are going to need to be quiet. Can you do that?"

"Mhmmm." She says, and nods.

"No." He says, "I'm serious." He pets a strand of her blue mane that pops out from under the ring of brown fur. "You'll need to stay still when I tell you. And stay quiet. There are things in the woods. Things we can't let hear us. Do you you understand?"

"Mhmmm."

"Do you understand?"

"Mhmmm"

"I'll get you some chocolate if you can stay quiet and be a good filly." Jakala starts to wag her tail, though this tail wagging is subdued by the mass of her fur jacket.

The stallion gets back up and says to Father,
"Let's go."

Amber hooks herself up to the sled to pull it, although Father will sometimes pull on a leather belt to move it forward, however, Father mostly walks ahead and sometimes off to the side. While the sled is not as heavy nor as hard to pull as when the other one was full of wood, the task is still harder, as Amber is expected to move more quickly.

Father and the other stallion speak to each other, saying things like "Off we are, then" and "this way," though Amber cannot hear every word. They tend to walk ahead and a bit to the side. Each carries a kerosene lamp. The group as a whole walks north, just a bit to the left of where Amber saw the Blast begin over a hill top, and through an open plain of frozen group and packed, thin layers of snow. It isn't far before she sees that same pattern of endless trees, all lying down on the ground, and all pointing the same direction. A lone pine tree stands straight up, every branch blown off and looking like a telephone pole, save the topmost portion, where oddly even small branches still cling, such that it looks like a needless sapling placed on top of a telephone pole, in the middle of so many downed trees. The adults each turn off their lamps, so that the ponies go forward in darkness, with only the stars, the twilight, and the aurora to guide them.

This place still gives her the creeps. She can't help but wonder if the stallions turned off the lamps because they don't want Vaeltaja to see them, or if they are worried about something else in this area.

He looks down and around at the grass, and then back up at Kira.

Kira recalls, surely, a remark made earlier by that police officer when Kira was at Customs. The police officer, like the customs officers, believed Neela to be lying about, well, everything. Lying about who she was, lying about where she came from, and above all, lying to hide that she was engaged in some sort kind of illicit activity that, if perhaps unknown, was certainly nefarious. And what was the one word that officer could come up with to describe someone like that? A "snake." What creature could be a better symbol of betrayal or deceit, than one whose modus operandi is to hide in the grass and strike you when you do not, and could not see it?

Hopper had known only ponies, and the ponies would come up to him to give him food. Kira looked like a pony. She was not there to give him food...

He seems to look around, or try to look around, at the grass and the sky.

"I wish it could have been different, Hopper. I'm proud to be a hunter for my people, to bring them food and keep them fed. But if I could have it were we were like the ponies, living off of plants and their resources...I would." If her petting is preventing him from looking around, she lets up. Otherwise, she continues to pet his soft fur. "As it is, if it wasn't you, it would have been some other creature. Some other goat or sheep, or perhaps a creature of the woods if I decided to go hunting instead. But it was you, and now you're here with me. Inside me."

The goat is done shaming her for the moment, even if he withholds forgiveness. Instead, he stands there sadly, looking away. He lets her pet him. For a while, actually. It does feel nice. After the passage of some time, or perhaps, after Kira has lost interest, he looks back up to Kira, and jumps. He jumps right over Kira. Right into the sky. And very likely, up to some celestial body, away from Kira.

Kira falls backwards onto the grass in surprise as she watches his miraculous hop and follows his path through the sky. She watches with wonder and sparkling eyes as he gradually disappears into the vastness above her head, going towards the stars.

Kira yawns, and with a hoof wipes away the sleep from her eyes. A small part of her still half-asleep mind registers that she wipes away some tears as well. She didn't intend to keep Hopper trapped. She hopes he'll be able to jump away tomorrow night.

"See you soon, Hopper..."

She looks where her dear friend was sleeping, on top of her coils, to see if she's still there or if she woke up before she it.

Well I meant like he literally failed to jump away from Kira before she could kill him, because she killed him, but...

Kira can feel Hopper in her. And applying pressure to her stomach, she can feel another, lighter pressure. At first it's almost comforting, to have another animal inside her. Then it's too much, too filling. Then as Kira gains consciousness, she can sense that it's actually a separate creature on top of her, which becomes frightening as she doesn't know why it's there, then disappointing that the deer is not in her stomach, and then hopeful because she can eat it later/keep the deer as her friend.

Neela is still laying there, under a blanket that covers her eyes (but not her nose), and still sleeping.

The deer or the lamia?

Hopper retains a strong physical presence, weighing Kira down, and definitely dampening her appetite for a while.

Neela simply lays there. It's bright enough she ought to wake up, but she keeps the blanket over her eyes. She seems content to lay there. She does not move in her sleep.

Neela's body, though small, continues to press down onto Kira's stomach and weigh her down. This pressure does not cease as Neela sleeps. But with Kira still digesting from the evening before, Kira herself may not be in much of a hurry to get up, and out of bed.

Hmm...a fair point made. Still though, Kira is getting bored, just laying there. She wants to be able to move and fidget about, but she can't as she doesn't want to disturb the sleeping deer. She hums a little tune to herself, tilting and bouncing her head from side to side as she lets her mind wander from subject to subject to hopefully keep herself occupied until Neela stirs from her slumber.
