Kaa’s cold blooded heart felt a pang of sympathy. He allowed the emotion to show on his face but internally pushed it aside. He had been born knowing how to hunt and kill but understood that it was different for those with warm blood. To force oneself to become something that it was not meant to be…
Kaa quickly reevaluated Haku. Unlike Mowgli when she had claimed to be able to take care of himself, Haku no doubt actually could. He had seriously underestimated her. Although this explained a lot about her, for example, why she was not afraid of him or why she saw the practicality of being above the masses below. She was a weapon and would have obviously seen things war more terrible that a larger than average python.
Kaa reached up with one of his coils and gently gave Haku a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder, then promptly returned it to the roof. It was unwise to violate a “weapons’” personal space for to long. He offered her a small, understanding smile.
“My sssympathiesss for all you’ve been through. To be one so young and already a predator but not even your’ own.” Kaa lowered his head and shaking it as he continued to speak. “It ssseemsss asss though you have out grown your’ ssstatusss asss a weapon. Asss a sssnake agesss hisss ssskin becomesss to confining for him, and eventually he isss forced to ssshed it, replacssing it with a new ssskin that fitsss. You have apparently grown to large for your’ ssskin. Perhapsss it isss time to ssshed it?”
He raised his head so that he was looking into Hakus’ eyes, though he did not use his hypnosis. No, this was simply to put emphasis and meaning into his words. He waited for Haku to respond.
