"I've had worse landingssss believe it or not, but I am glad you haven't been harmed by that little accident," Kaa said.
Kaa took note that the girl was indeed keeping her distance, which meant bad news for the snake. He'd hate having to start from scratch all over again but whatever needs to be done to get his meal back. One broken branch wouldn't be enough to stop Kaa. He slithers slowly closer to Emiko, no matter how much she backs away he continues to move, his tail unwinds as he moves.
"Enough?" Kaa asked. "Oh but my dear we were so closssse that time. You would have reached enlightenment... but what am I saying? You still can." he keeps slithering forward. "Jussst stay a little longer and let me look at-Oof!"
Kaa was about to activate his hypnosis again until something pulled back his tail and he was forced to stop. He turns his head and sees his tail caught in a knot and stuck against two bamboos.
The snake groans but then gives a guilty chuckle. "One moment please," he then tugs at the knot trying to get free.

Emiko had this sneaky suspicion that Kaa wasn't going to give up on trying to get close to her again and...that proved to be the case. Every step that she took backwards to put distance between them was met with the python closing the gap keeping the space between them close. At first, it didn't seem like anything more than harmless advancements, but...the longer it went on and the more the python tried to explain the situation, the more suspicious it got...
After a bit Kaa went on to mention insisting that she stay a little longer and look at...something. He was cut off at that moment with something in his tail pushing him back. As a result of that, Emiko actually rather humorously jumped thinking he was lunging at her. However, she just as quickly found her fears unwarranted as the python had his tail stuck in a not between two bamboo branches.
A bit curious, Emiko tilted her head as the snake insisted that she wait a moment and attempted to pull himself free. In some ways, she couldn't help but contain a smile thinking the situation he was in was a little funny. And she certainly didn't mean to let a small giggle escape when one failed attempt lead to another. In that moment, Kaa didn't seem like all that dangerous of a snake. She also couldn't shrug off how she ended up stripped down to her underwear and wrapped up in coils without knowing how she got there...
The weirdness of her previous situation would win out over the comedy happening here and...rather than waiting around for Kaa to get free, Emiko took the time to make a hasty little jog over to where her flats had fallen. Once there, she swiftly dumped any tree bark or rocks that might have gotten in them before slipping her feet back inside. Giving Kaa one last glance back to see what was up, she wouldn't even give the snake the time of day as she took off into the jungle just to get away from what might have been a dangerous situation...
it was a little funny. She certainly didn't mean to let a small giggle slip, but it did the more he tried to free himself... Kaa certainly didn't seem all that dangerous in that moment, but...it also didn't take long for her to remember how she woke up and...not having a ton of memory

Kaa pulled harder, hardly noticing the girl's giggling until the bamboo snapped and his tail coiled up like an accordion. He was annoyed. Very annoyed. His head hurt and his coils were in tangles, but worst of all his meal was getting away. Kaa watched in silence as Emiko made her escape through the jungle while putting her clothes back on. He noticed her giggles there and was still irritated... but then it occurred to him that maybe it wasn't the end.
Emiko can run all she likes, but the snake could still smell her sweet scent. Kaa stretched out his coils to get the kinks out and then started slithering through the tall grass. His tongue flickered up in the air, he followed the girl's scent, anticipating the chance to take Emiko into his coils again.

Emiko was on the move for a good hour after running away from Kaa just trying to put some distance between herself and the snake. It started out in a steady run before slowing down to a brisk walk until she was finally moving at a much normal pace. The entire time she had been fleeing, she...hadn't exactly had the faintest idea of where she was going. As a result of that, rather than making massive strides to get away from the python, she...actually ended up going around in circles more than not which meant she didn't make much progress at all... It was enough to put SOME distance between herself and the snake, but...not nearly as much as what she had thought she'd make.
After trailing on just a bit further, the poor girl was utterly exhausted. She took a seat on a rather large rock by the rivers edge and started working to catch her breath hoping she had seen the last of that python. While she could only hope she wouldn't run into Kaa again, it...started to dawn on her how unprepared she was for being out in the jungle like this... The realization of how dangerous this place was really began to set in and a sense of helplessness started to creep in as well... Emiko knew she couldn't stay out here any longer than she needed to or else, she might not ever make it out at all... She needed to find what she was out here for as quick as she could and get back to civilization as swiftly as possible... But...how exactly...?
"...I know I can't stay out here on my own forever like this..." Emiko softly commented to...no one really in particular. "...But, how can I find enlightenment out here like that guru did? I'm not adept at jungle survival and don't know how I can last long enough to find it... Should I just...give up and go home...?"
For a brief moment, the idea of just giving up on this dream of hers started to really set in and...for that moment she really considered it... It would have been the smart thing to do considering her position but...could she really just abandon her dream of finding enlightenment and just go home...?
"...No...I'm not giving up...not yet..." Emiko said, finding her second wind. "...I'll find it somehow... I haven't even really tried yet! There's no way I can go home before I at least give this a serious effort. A few days, and then we'll see then. Maybe...I could try meditating...?"
...It sounded like a silly idea, but...Emiko had read up and learned from the various texts she came across that meditation was necessary to maintain enlightenment once found. Perhaps...it would help her actually find it? It was worth a shot in her eyes... So without giving it much thought, she lightly folded her legs to sit in a cross-legged sitting pose and let her palms face upwards while putting her things together against her ring finger. After closing her eyes, she started to take some slow, deep breaths just to relax her mind and start meditating... She...didn't honestly know what to expect with this, but...worst case scenario, she ended up in a trance like state that took her one step closer to her destination! Only question was...which sort of trance would she find, and...where would that destination be...?

Tracking the girl was easy for Kaa but he underestimated just how long it would take for Emiko to finally grow exhausted enough to stop. The snake felt a little winded himself but he got a second wind as Emiko stood in one spot and started talking to herself. Kaa wasn't one to judge of course but that didn't stop him smiling in amusement as the girl spelled out her doom. He nodded in agreement as Emiko discussed with herself about staying in the jungle a little longer.
Kaa saw that Emiko sat down on a large rock among other rocks. The snake slithered closer but stayed low even though Emiko's eyes were closed. Kaa slithered until he was behind Emiko, he raised his head and gives a small hiss close to the girl's ear and then disappears before she could see him.

Thanks to the fact that her eyes were closed and focused on 'other things', Emiko didn't even notice as Kaa slithered towards her, and even made his way behind where she was sitting. She was so focused on trying to obtain this sense of enlightenment on her own that she wasn't paying attention to the things that she should have. As a result, she let the very creature that could put her little journey to a swift end sneak right up on her.
Even still, trying hard to meditate like she was, she didn't even seem to notice when Kaa rose himself up behind her. When the devious snake gave a small little hiss close to her ears, that instantly caught Emiko's attention. She suddenly opened her eyes with a gasp and turned behind her to see what the source of that sound was. Kaa was so swift though that...she saw nothing...
A bit confused, Emiko tilted her head and wondered what on earth was going on. It...was possible that this was just her being paranoid and she was just hearing things. Considering the fact that there wasn't really anything 'around' to make that hissing sound, she figured that was most likely what it was...
Emiko silently dismissed the sound as a trick of her mind and refocused her attention forward. Closing her eyes yet again, the naive girl took a deep breath in and started to focus hard on her concentration. She determined then and there that she wouldn't be distracted by sounds again and was determined to meditate herself into enlightenment if it was the last thing she did.

Kaa was relieved that Emiko seemed to brush his hissing off as a trick and went back to her own meditation. The snake gave another hiss but it was so soft it could be mistaken for the wind.
"There'ssss nothing to worry about my dear," Kaa hissed lightly. "It'sss all part of finding enlightenment,"
Kaa knows that his words might have some power over the girl and saw this when Emiko's shoulders loosened.

In the midst of her meditation once more, Emiko did hear the python give her yet another hiss. However, unlike the previous time, the sound was slightly lower and in general quieter than it had been before. As a result, she was able to easily dismiss it as little more than a trick of the wind or...maybe even the buzzing of some sort of bug not too far off. And dismissing that sound was what allowed Kaa to actually get a little closer and even start talking to her...
By the point that Emiko had started focusing hard on her meditation, that was when she heard 'someone' start to talk to her. Even though it was a voice that came from the outside world, the way that Kaa spoke was so light and quiet that...it seemed to meld into Emiko somehow... As a result, the naive girl actually thought she had tapped into some unseen hidden, spiritual power that was within her rather than out...
Honestly believing that she had tapped into something spiritual, Emiko began to focus even harder on her meditation determined to 'go deeper' into this state and discover more secrets that lie beneath the surface. After all, the voice seemed to tell her there was nothing to worry about and that this was all part of finding enlightenment. It...just made sense for her to focus more, concentrate harder, and try to find and even follow that voice to the state she ultimately desired.
...What Emiko didn't realize however was that...her desire for enlightenment was actually giving Kaa a unique way into her mind... She was truly concentrating hard on his words and meditating on them as if they were a mantra given to her by a spiritual guide. In doing so, the naive girl was actually allowing the words she heard to sink into her being and become a part of who she was during this meditation... Long story short, Emiko was so receptive that Kaa had a window to implant what he wanted and might find the naive girl quite receptive, even submissive to his words...

"That's it," Kaa whispered. "Focus on your breathing and emptying your mind,"
The snake made sure not to get too close enough to touch Emiko with his tongue or else he'd alert her of his presence. Kaa just had to be sure to say the right things.
"Relaxxx your muscles," Kaa hissed.

As Emiko continued to concentrate in her meditative state, she naive girl heard the 'voice' within her instruct her to focus on her breathing and empty out her mind. It was a simple request to say the least, but one that would prove to have a significant impact on her being. As instructed, Emiko shifted her focus from concentrating on the state to her breathing while allowing her mind to gradually empty of all thoughts. The process of this would help ease her down significantly and...push her deeper into a suggestive state.
With all of this happening, Kaa made sure to keep his distance from Emiko as to not rouse her suspicion in any way. He was just close enough to let his words sink into her system while being far enough away that he couldn't touch her or alert her to his presence. Thus far, the python was doing everything he needed to in order to worm his way into her system through his words alone. The fruits of his seductive words would be more easily seen with his next hissing command...
When Kaa went on to instruct Emiko to relax her muscles, the naive girl's body began to loosen a great deal. Kaa would be able to see Emiko's shoulders droop down slightly and might even notice the more fainter traces of muscles in Emiko's body easing up. In this moment, to that mere command, Emiko found it so easy to just let go of all the tension in her body and sink into a bit of relaxation. That relaxation, combined with the now empty void of her mind put her perfectly in place to absorb much more of the snake's words. It was a growing submissive state that...poor Emiko honestly had no idea she was falling into...

Kaa saw Emiko follow his instructions beautifully and readied himself for the next one.
"Take your time with this but try to imagine what true bliss feels like. What it looks like," Kaa said softly. "Imagine colors swirling before your eyes. Blue, to represent calmness. Yellow for happiness. And green for balance. Let them come to you one at a time,"

It had not been too terribly long since Emiko had last been exposed to Kaa's hypnotic eyes and seen those whirling colors. so when the 'voice' instructed her to imagine colors swirling before her eyes...Kaa's spirals instantly came to mind. The voice instructed her to see these colors and let each one represent a certain type of feeling. Blue colors made her feel calm while yellow made her feel happy. A green color helped give a balanced blend of the two and the cycle would repeat itself...
In her minds eye, Emiko 'watched' as the colors seemed to come and move one at a time just as the voice instructed. Admittedly speaking at first, it felt a little strange, almost flat out weird. As she continued to imagine them, things began to feel slightly more real... It was weird to say, but the more Emiko imagined seeing these colors swirl about in her imagination, the more affected she seemed to become.
Now Emiko was by no means really being hypnotized by her imagination alone. However, imagining the very real rings she had seen earlier was seeming to have quite an effect on her. Very much a case of mind over body, Emiko could feel the effects of the rings even if she wasn't seeing them in real life. Those potent effects would grow on and on causing the naive girl to actually smile and sway a bit in her meditating position feeling exactly what she was told... She may not necessarily fall into a real trance out of this but it was becoming quite evident how submissive the silly girl was becoming with each passing suggestion...

Since the girl was seeing the colors so well in her mind, if Kaa had to guess, then maybe he should see just how far she was willing to obey him. He will of course be ready to hypnotize her for real if things go south but it doesn't hurt to try.
"Tell me, Emiko, how do you feel now?" Kaa whispered. "Don't be afraid to speak up, there's no one else here,"

For several long moments, Emiko sat in her meditative position just...smiling and swaying softly as she continued to imagine the pretty colors 'spiraling' through her mind. Their imaginative effects were potent enough that the naive girl didn't seem to quite register when the 'voice' changed from an instructive tone to a much more casual one. It even had a reassuring command to it to insist she not let fear keep her silent since there was 'no one else here'.
"...I...I feel strangely nice..." Emiko commented to...no one in particular, honestly believing she was speaking to the spiritual 'voice' in her mind. "...A lot more relaxed than...a little while ago..."
...It probably should have dawned on the silly girl right then and there that this wasn't at all what she thought it to be. The fact that her spiritual guide and her were having an open communication about her feelings should have been the red flag that send warning chills down her spine. However, she seemed naively oblivious to it all and instead showed that she was quite responsive to the 'voice'... While hardly a trance, as long as Emiko believed she was being lead by some sort of spiritual...'thing', she'd more than likely converse and obey it...

Kaa then decides to test an idea he just had.
"Listen carefully," Kaa said. "Keep your eyes closed and stand on your feet," The snake watched as the girl did as she was told. Her feet landed on the ground while her body continued to sway. "Very good, now the next thing I want you to do is to take two steps forward."
