Mera watched as Emiko slowly seemed to regain her senses, immediately reacting with questions. None of the questions were too specific nor did she suspect him of doing anything besides carrying her away. He couldn't say how long that would be the case, but he would be a fool to not make the most of it while he could.
"The 'why' we're here is simple, I thought you could use a break from all that walking we've done. Not to mention a bite to eat." Mera answered, his tail slowly climbing up the tree and towards the closest branch. He used his tail to feel around for a banana, plucked one from the cluster and brought it down in front of Emiko. "Go on, it's my treat."
He waited for Emiko to take the first bite before continuing his explanation. "As for the 'where', this is another tree I tend to stay at from time to time. Usually during long journeys." So far she was understandably confused about her new surroundings. Both understandable and a bit preferred as that confusion could make things easier for him to convince her of his good intentions. "We do still have quite a ways to travel and I wouldn't want you getting worn out before we get there."

The daze that Emiko had been in was clearly on the verge of passing and seeing the girl return to her normal state of mind. But in the current moment, she was still addled enough that Mera didn't have to dive into deep explanations and risk her finding out what he was really up to.
Instead, the snake simply explained that they were taking a little break from there walk. That, and...apparently getting a bite to eat. As he demonstrated by plucking a banana from up above and bringing it back down to her. At first, Emiko just blinked at the offer a tad bit confused. She got this weird feeling that...something was kind of off... But still, she was hungry... And turning down a meal was never a good thing...
A bit reluctantly, Emiko did eventually take the banana and started to eating it while listening to 'where' they currently were. A tree he tended to stay in from time to time and rest during long journeys. It made sense that he'd stop here, but she still didn't quite know where 'here' was. Or...for that matter, where they were even going...
Emiko quietly thought things through as she finished the last bite of her banana. And as she did, the earlier memories of where she was actually heading towards started to come back to her. Just in little pieces, but still very much starting to flow.
"...A long travel...back to...the village? That's...where you're taking me right?" She asked, starting to think more clearly. Only...for the earlier 'memories' Mera had put into her to start coming back and confusing her.
"...But...I thought the place of safety was your coils... Why do we need to...go so far for that...? Or...was it the village we were really heading to?"

That was promising. His suggestions he'd fed her while she was dazed did have an deeper effect on her. Now she was truly questioning where it was she was supposed to go. As pleasant as a revelation as this was, this was also where things got trickier. Mera had intentionally put himself in this situation to see just how much her daze had affected her mentally and now that he had that answer, he had to be careful. One wrong step, or flimsy lie, and all that would blow up in his face.
"You caught me." He started, chuckling a bit. "I brought you to this tree so that I could have more space to move around which would let me use more of my coils to keep you safe." It wasn't the best lie by any means, but it should suffice as a justifications to why she was brought all the way here. One glaring flaw was a lack of mentioning of the village. He'd hope that his answer would keep her mind off of that little detail to prevent any further questions on that subject.

Emiko had just finished eating the last bit of her banana. After giving her fingers a lick, she casually wiped her hands 'clean' on the skirt of her dress using it like she would a napkin. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have bothered to do this. However, after her 24 hour trek in the jungle, she and her outfit both were in desperate need of a bath. A little fruit juice on her skirt was honestly the least of her problems.
One such problem presented itself when Mera went so far as to say that 'she caught him' in some way. Caught on to what he was up to, that is. Saying that his intentions for stopping here at this particular point was to give himself more space to move around. Space his coils needed to properly keep her safe. That was the extent of his explanation. No mention of the village, or...anything else. Just...a vague need of space for his coils to move.
Needless to say, Mera's explanation puzzled Emiko a fair bit. Like his previous answer, this was quite vague and seemed to imply that he wanted to get more of himself around her. He had more or less 'kept her safe' by binding Emiko inside of his coils, so if he needed more space to do that, what was she supposed to think? That did though bring to light another question she had. Mera had said that...his coils was where 'safety' was... So if that was true, they didn't need to travel THAT far, right...?
Emiko stood quietly by for a moment letting these thoughts, and a few others run through her head. It was a bit of a slow process though, and she shook her head in an effort to clear out more of her daze. The action did help to a degree, and she seemed to be coming back to reality once again. Still though, there was a bit of confusion and a strange suspicion she couldn't shake. It led her to question things more thoroughly looking for answers that...just weren't there.
"...I don't...think I understand... I mean...why is space so important?" She inquired, tilting her head curiously thinking things through. "...Your coils could keep me safe...anywhere. Though...I thought I was heading back...back to the village for safety... This is weird... It...doesn't make much sense to me..."

As interesting as it was witnessing Emiko stand at the mental crossroads that was her own memories and the lies he'd fed her, the situation was quite risky for Mera. His simple, vague answers had left her with more questions. Question that would undoubtably lead her to clueing in to enough of the truth that his efforts would be undone and that simply wouldn't do. What he needed was not only an answer, but perhaps a demonstration of his point.
"Space is important for the games I have in store for us my dear, to help us pass the time." Mera curled his tail around her waist, letting the crimson band firmly hold her and lift her slightly off the ground. Not so high that he might accidentally trigger a fear of falling or heights in her, but high enough so that her legs could comfortably dangle in the air. "While it is true that my coils can and will keep you safe no matter where we are, I thought you might like what else they could do for you."
Slowly Emiko was rocked back and forth in the air. Should she look down she would notice a larger portion of his coils moving underneath her and inching closer to her swaying feet. His body brushed gently against her soles, teasing her. "I wouldn't mind letting you walk upon my body, or I could simply keep rocking you back and both in the air. I do have other games in mind, but I want to know what you're okay with firstly."
Now Mera was betting heavily on those simple things he'd noticed Emiko enjoying to have enough of a hold on her to put her back in a sort of daze. Just enough for her to no longer question about the village for now. Thus he kept the act of being a concerned friend up, which the section of his coils rippling to brush against her soles.

There was a brief silence from Mera that only added to Emiko's suspicions of him. It also provided the briefest time for her to gather more of her thoughts, and further realize something was rotten in Denmark. That time that elapsed in silence was only so brief, but...it lasted just long enough to get the gears in her mind grinding again. At least, until the snake started to speak again with answers that would further confuse her.
Mera made only a single comment about how 'space' was necessary for games he had in store. Games was his answer? That naturally made Emiko tilt her head curiously wondering why they were playing games when the ultimate goal was to get her to safety. She'd barely have time to ponder this however when the snake gently curled his tail around her waist and lifted her up into the air.
As this initially happened, Emiko did gasp a bit in a panic and nervously tucked her legs behind her not fully understanding why Mera was doing this. She wasn't raised very high though and soon, he started to rock her body back and forth in a strange sort of way that didn't make sense to her. A moment or so later, the swaying proved to be very little of a reason to keep her legs curled tensely. So, she ended up letting them drop... Big mistake...
Just as her legs would lower down, honestly in a silly attempt to get her feet back on the ground, her soles would make contact against the serpent's scales sending a pleasure jolt up her legs. It was so unexpected and sudden that she let out quite an audible gasp before blushing heavily at the act of this. It left her again sort of paralyzed and unable to move on her own for a short time.
Mera used this time to continue swaying her too and fro ever so gently. Each movement saw her soles brushing against the snake's body and leaving her to blush deeper each time. Touch present just enough to stimulate her, yet taken away enough to appreciate it even more the next time it returned. Naturally, this worked wonders to reinstate her daze. And she even began feeling the faint dangling of her legs which only fed into that daze...
The sly snake certainly was taking a significant gamble in what he was doing. On it's own, her dangling legs might not have meant much. However, when done with a weakness exploited, the full effects of it hit her hard. Strong enough to make her body seem to go totally limp, a faint grin to spread over her lips, and a deep blush to form on her cheeks. He had successfully pushed her back in it. And thankfully, the questions that came out of Emiko were ones he might gladly take compared to her earlier ones.
"...Walk on your body, or...rocking me in the air...? How...are these games...?" Emiko would ask with a shaky voice, only to moan a second later as her feet grazed his scales and her legs swayed about. Oh, that felt good! "...I...I don't understand...How...we 'play' with those activities..."

For now the gamble was working on Mera's favor with Emiko returning to her daze like state. To make sure that she stayed in that mentality longer, he kept brushing his scales against the soles of her feet. Taking a moment to savor the moans coming from Emiko, as well as her blushing face. Even if this was still a dire situation for Mera, he still took the time to appreciate the results of his efforts so far. As for her question, he had just the answer in mind.
"Games are meant to be played for the enjoyment of its participants are they not? It's clear that you do like the feeling of my scales against your feet, so why not do something that we both can enjoy." While the works settled in Emiko's mind, Mera's coils stopped rippling and straighten out underneath her. This let Mera gently lower her to be standing on them. "And don't worry about falling, I got you." He gave her a gently nudge forward as the coils around her waist squeezed just enough to hold her snug. Reaffirming his words on not letting her fall. "Let's start with a couple of steps and you'll see what I mean."

Mera's gamble for the sake of his own amusement had a lot of inherent risks with it. Not the least of which was Emiko catching onto what was happening and escaping before the snake could do anything to her. A very real possibility with every moment she wasn't in a trance. And yet, despite that risk always being there, he seemed to have found way after way of keeping her well subdued considering it wasn't even an entranced state.
The continual soft strokes against her soles never seemed to get old to the poor girl who just...took it all so well. Each one helped to 'stoke' the haze in her mind and left her with a feeling that she were too relaxed to move. Truth be told, she had NEVER felt snake skin texture on her body quite like she was now. And being as it was a new 'experience', you bet she was keen to enjoy it longer.
This lock into comfort left her hazy mind open to Mera's words where he explained that a game was just something that the two of them could do for fun. By that logic, anything could be made into a game. And honestly...Emiko had to agree with it. She still didn't quite see the benefit that Mera got out of the things he suggested, but if she were enjoying herself, did that really matter?
Whatever the case was, the serpent decided to 'show' her what he meant. He ceased to stroke her soles and straightened out a section of his coils. A bit confused, Emiko watched this all unfold until she was at last placed on top of this platform. When her soles hit the snake's back, it felt really, really good. Being stroked by them was comfortable on it's own, but feeling them firmly underfoot was somehow totally different. Yet, just as relaxing as ever before.
Any 'haze' that had left her mind in the short time Mera wasn't stroking her soles was instantly replaced when she found herself on top of the snake's back. He gave her a little suggestion to just try taking a step or two to see how it felt offering assurance that he wouldn't let her go if she did. It was all just a ploy on his part of course, but...to Emiko who was a bit oblivious to his intentions - she took it as truth. It seemed like Mera really did care and...what was the harm is just humoring him for a bit?
With that in mind, Emiko just gave a soft shrug of her shoulders as if to say 'why not?' and started to take a walk on the python's scales. Just a few steps was the play, but that first step proved to be a very, very intoxicating one...
The way the snake's scales conformed to her foot and dug into her soles so delicately was so soothing and powerful. It was like a massage all on it's own, and all Emiko did was take a step! Of course, to this sensation, she would let out a soft moan unable to contain her joy or bliss. And that of course led to another step... And then, another... And before Emiko realized it, she had taken extra steps she hadn't intended and was still going.
By about the fifth step, her body had already gotten into a rhythm and she was walking at a normal, soft pace. The trip along the scales barefoot had dug into her mind enough that she seemed to be totally out of it with a glassy sort of stare, and a soft grin on her face. This felt SO good, and she just wanted to keep walking and enjoy more of this! She couldn't even bring herself to speak for the time being. A huge win for Mera in the current moment...

It was actually quite funny as while Emiko was taking a stroll along his back, letting herself fall to the bliss that such sensations brought her. Mera himself too found himself enjoying the sensations on the girls feet along his back. The combination of pressure enough to nicely press into his scales and the even rhythm Emiko marched in made for the perfect massage combination for him. He certainly wouldn't mind allowing her to keep walking for a bit longer.
"Yessss, just like that." His words were followed by a content sigh of his own. By Emiko's fifth step, Mera's body had started to lay out a path for her to take. A simple staircase that would take her higher up. To Emiko it would feel like would be climber higher and higher with no end in sight, but the realizing would be that a the so called staircase was more of an escalator. This way she could keep walking and more of Mera's body would be given the same treatment. "Feel free to keep walking my dear, I'm quite enjoying this myself."

As Emiko started to move from her fifth step to her sixth, she suddenly noticed that the snake was forming a new path before her. Something of a weird staircase that was leading upwards higher into the trees. Naturally upon seeing this sudden change in the path, there was a strange sense of suspicion within her that made her wonder what was up literally, and figuratively... Yet...as hilarious as it was, that suspicion would be rendered moot with just her next step...
Upon taking her sixth or seventh step, the scales on her soles would sink in ever so nicely. The coils constantly curving and conforming to her foot to ensure that each step she took was one that relaxed her as she walked. And being weak in her soles, that relaxing 'massage' on her foot went straight to her brain fogging it up even more. The potency of it was enough to push the very small, momentary suspicion she had and leave her feeling content and relaxed yet again...
It was during this moment of peace that Mera encouraged the girl to keep walking if she wanted to. And there was no denying in Emiko's heart that she wanted to. How could she not want to walk on these coils when ever step was like walking on a cloud? It was more or less heaven to her right now. A mesmerizing path that here feet were addicted to.
At Mera's coaxing, Emiko gave a very soft nod of her head and continued to move on down the path. Not only did she walk the entire length of his coils to the stairs, but didn't hesitate to actually start ascending the stairs up higher into the trees. She didn't know where she was being led right now, but she just couldn't stop walking. His coils were like a drug that she needed to have more of, and it showed...
"...T-this feels so good... I've...never felt anything like this..." Emiko would reply softly, happily as she made her way up the stairs. Her eyes still glazed over, and a soft smile on her lips.

Mera chuckled at Emiko's response, finding joy in knowing that something as small as walking along his back would have such a large effect on her. Of course he couldn't complain with the results. Even beyond his more predatory reasons, her marching was just as pleasant to him as it was for her. "I'm glad to know my coilsss can bring you such joy, and to think that this is only the start of out games."
As she marched onward, rising higher and higher the path changed once. It was a slow and gradually chance marked by the stairs leveling out, but soon the coil Emiko marched on started to curved inward. With each step she took, the curve grew. More and more until Emiko was walking in a wheel. Perfectly symmetrical with the top resting just above her head. Mera watched and she kept going forward. "Ssssso Emiko, is there anything you have in mind that we should play? Perhaps even a request I might be able to grant."

Emiko trailed up the quietly and contently with only the occasional moan or two coming from her lips. The feeling of the scales under her soles had weakened her to a point where she sort of just went on instinct. As a result, instinct had her just to move her legs one step after the other not really caring where she went. It didn't make any logical sense, but it felt SO good.
After trailing up a fair amount of stairs, Emiko had somehow ascended rather far up into the trees. It was funny to think that...just a short time ago she was locked up in a cocoon of coils in the treetops just like this. Funny enough, she had struggled so hard before to get out of the treetops and was now right back in them with the ironic part being she had walked herself right into it.
Despite that, the reality of where she was seemed lost to her as she kept moving on pure instinct alone to the wonder feelings under foot. And after a while, she was so dazed that she didn't even notice the stairwell before her starting to level out. Though, she did take notice when the coil path before her started to curve in her direction. And shadows from behind her helped her to realize the coils were closing in forming a giant wheel of sorts.
Naturally, as Emiko felt herself within a giant forming wheel, she started to feel a little uneasy again. She didn't know what the snake was really up to, but at the same time, she was still sort of operating on instinct. Her feet kept marching her on the coiled wheel to a beat that she couldn't resist. And even though she were slightly suspicious, she kept moving on as if nothing were going on.
Of course, Mera was rather quick to see if he could change Emiko's suspicious mind by asking her if she had any particular game in mind that she wanted to play. That was when she was reminded that...this was just a game. It was all safe and...nothing weird was happening...right?
"...I...well, I...don't know... I mean...I'm not familiar with jungle games, and...and..." She suddenly went silent looking at the wheel before her again wondering where it was leading her. "...This...is a game, right? It feels...sort of like...like you're toying with...me..."
It was obvious from her statement that Emiko was starting to feel a tad suspicious. And even though the scales under her feet did keep her walking and subdued, it didn't alleviate her suspicions entirely. She didn't necessarily doubt Mera, but if he did find a way to twist that idea of being toyed with as a good thing, he might be able to salvage the 'game' he started. It was far from at risk of falling apart, anyway.

"I will confess that I am toying with you a little bit, but only to help show you what fun can be had with our games." Surprisingly Mera did tell the truth for the most part, in fact that was one of the more honest things he's said all day. "But still I worry you might be thinking too hard about jungle games my dear. Almost anything counts as a game out here, just as long as you are enjoying yourself." Be it walking along a giant snakes back, having your feet played with or anything else that came to mind. By his logic, enjoyment was the key factor in deciding what was and wasn't a game out here in the jungle.
He gave his words some time to sink in before moving his head next to Emiko's. "And I happen to know that you've been enjoying walking along my scales very much." The words oozed out his mouth as a playful tease.

Emiko was initially very surprised to hear confess that he was indeed playing with her a little bit. However, it was to show what fun could be had with these 'games' of hers. He went on to explain a whole bunch of different things that, to her dazed mind - ended up making quite a bit of sense. His logic was quite sound in the moment, and hard to dismiss.
By the time Mera had finished speaking, Emiko was all but convinced that even though she was being toyed with, it wasn't a bad thing. After all, she was enjoying herself and this little walk felt amazing. When he stated that he knew she enjoyed walking on his scales a great deal, there was no denying it. And Emiko knew the moment he moved his head to her to look at her she couldn't hide it. Instead she just let out a playful giggle and nodded.
"...You're right. I do...enjoy walking along on your scales a lot." She'd say playfully, taking a moment to actually look down at her feet and watch them while she walked.
"...It's honestly a little scary... I can't seem to stop walking on them. The feeling of your scales under my soles is...such an addictive and powerful thing... I just seem to keep walking on and on...and...on..."
For a brief moment, watching her own feet and the coils 'spinning' under her made her feel just a little dizzy. She forced herself to raise her head up where the wheel before her was still going. Yet again, she started to feel incredibly dizzy which only further fed into her hazy mind. And by the time she found herself able to speak again, it was as if she had fallen totally into that daze again...
"...It feels so good... Our game is so...interesting... I like...that you can toy with me...to show me things..."

Mera chuckled, quite amused by Emiko's responses. TO think that he could have this much influence over her without the use of any hypnosis. The added risk wasn't something that he could ignore, as he learned earlier that if any of his answers lacked sound reasoning, Emiko might slowly start to pick up on something wrong. Still he wasn't worried about that in this exact moment as both his actions and words held a larger amount of truth behind them.
"I'm glad that you like my scales this much and I would love for you to keep walking on them." He rubbed his cheek against hers, showing some appreciation. "But as I recall there was another game that I promised I'd show you. I only need to know if you trust me? Then I can begin rocking you in the air."
