The fight slowly drained out of him, body going limp

"N-No....no.....I....I can't really be....u-unwanted....-" 

He slumped over, passing out as a few tears slipped down his cheeks 

"....Finally...I am sorry i had to do this, but I must find that last Human in my forest..."

His arms unwrapped around him, his tail coiling around him almost completely, holding him gently as he moves through the forest...looking for that last...person 

Virgil 

Virgil leaned back against the tree, staring blankly up at the sky, knowing that this would be his last time seeing it. He was going to die. He was going to die and there was nothing he could do about it. He was acutely aware of death, being homeless would do that to you, and yet he'd never thought he'd end up here. Tied up uncomfortably against a tree by his own village, and left to be snatched up by the jaws of a hungry naga. Maybe it wouldn't want to eat him. Maybe it'd think he was too scrawny, too sickly looking. Imagine, even a monster not wanting him-he honestly wouldn't be surprised. His whole body ached-he hadn't been surprised when the villagers had grabbed him off the streets where he'd been sleeping, but the violence he'd suffered seemed unnecessary-it's not like he could put up a good fight anyway-but still they'd felt it nessecary to knock him out, whacking him upside the head and leaving him strapped to this great oak. Well-great to know that his final moments would be spent with great back discomfort. 

And as he suspected...he heard twigs snapping...leaves sounding as if there being pressed against by some great beast...and the bright yellow eyes...staring at Virgil...from the darkness in the forest just in front of him

Virgil went perfectly still. Achingly still-his muscles shook from how hard they were tensing-he didn't make a single sound as he just froze, statuesque, staring back at the eyes, unable to look away. 

Those memorizing eyes came slowly closer...and closer...now in the moon light...his scales seemed to illuminate from the moon shining on him, his eyes only seemed to get more beautiful...and his body seemed...well you get the idea

"Hf-" 

As his full body came into view, Virgil let out a small, strangled cry before his eyes rolled back in his head, fainting. 

"....Well...that was rather surprising...-sigh-, you poor thing..,"

He leaned down and began to untie Virgil, his tail gently rubbing against him

He slumped into him, much too small and much too pale, his clothes tattered and hanging off of him. He had dark dark circles under his eyes.  

"You definitely need rest...and some food, what type of people treated you like this...?"

Instead of carrying him with his tail...he gently picked him up, and sat his head on his shoulder
