[That sure is a weird snake. Sagi is not about to question where it came from. He can process that later, like the icy water still soaking his own clothes and any other fleeting thoughts that don't relate to the pelt. He just runs.
Honestly, the snake may not be the only reason the water at the man's feet is murky. His face is deathly pale. He struggles to push himself out of the cobra's coils, but only manages to lose his footing entirely, slipping waist-deep in the water. "Please, I have a family!"
The wording is what gives Sagi pause, more than the man's obvious desperation. He comes to a stop before hitting the water again, looking torn.]
He's just saying that. Right?
[He's reverted to his earlier muttering volume after shouting just now.
Noticing his hesitation, his familiar pauses too, lowering its clawed, pulsating arm instead of taking another swipe. It doesn't want to get in the naga's way anyway, sending it a vague telepathic nod to that effect; it's only humans it dislikes on sight. For a horrible monster, it's kind of passive.]
