It was another hot day on the jungle. Many who called the island home were avoiding the sun and napping in the shade. Which is what Kaa the python was currently doing. The python was at least 30 ft long, with a light brown under belly, dark brown back scales and a black diamond pattern running down his coils. Kaa, like most snakes in the jungle, had the ability to hypnotize others. It was a skill some used for good, and some evil. But the local jungle denizens knew Kaa as a friend not a foe, and knew of his tactics to induce waves of relaxation through this hypnosis.
In fact it was today that Kaa was sleeping in the canopy, when he heard a noise: tiny footsteps coming his way. Waking up, Kaa smacked his lips and looked down to see his good friend Emi, the local jungle girl. Where could she be going in such a hurry?

Emi landed on the branch, panting. Then, she whooped, excited. She'd swung through the jungle trees for over a mile, beating her personal best of three quarters of a mile. Relief spilled over her, and she raised her arms triumphantly before drinking from her canteen. When she finished, she sighed, burped and leaned against the tree. Yes, she was a local jungle girl, but her sister Nami also had claim to that descriptor, but she wasn't here right now. She was probably off doing her own thing. Anyways...
Her full name was Emily Vidic-Anderson, and she was the daughter of the famous Kainak (Kyle Anderson) and Hulie (Julie Vidic) of Pokmaika'i. Born and raised on Pomaika'i, Emilie couldn't think of any other life for her. There was the one time someone tried to convince her to leave Pomaika'i for civilization, but she refused. Her parents and siblings were so proud of her!
Emi was lean, with a Wonder Woman-esque build. Brown hair framed the 19-year-old's slender face, and her lightly-tanned skin glistened with sweat. She wore little, except the "standard issue" jungle girl outfit, like what her mother and Nami wore.
Oh, and she couldn't have known Kaa was here, too.

It was Kaa's lucky day! His favorite girl cub had paid him a visit, and it didn't appear she knew the snake was in the same tree as her. Emi and Kaa went way back, and the python liked to think of her as one of his closest friends. While they sometimes disagreed, he always knew he could put a smile on her face...literally.
Beautiful, slender, athletic, and wild, Emi fit the jungle girl description perfectly. Which is why Kaa enjoyed her company. The girl cub was herself and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. That and she was one of the rare few jungle denizens that enjoyed the snake's hypnosis, if she was in the mood. "Let's see if today is one of those dayssss" Kaa hissed quietly as he lowered his tail, dropping it on Emi's head and covering her eyes.
"Guesss who?" Kaa chuckled, loving the girl cubs surprised reaction.

The sudden blackness startled Emi, and she tried to react. But once she heard Kaa's Winnie the Pooh voice, she groaned. Yet her heart also started pounding with some excitement. "Hi, Kaa," she replied.

Kaa was happy to hear his friends voice, but saddened at her miniscule reaction.
"You aren't even going to try to remove my coilssss? Aren't you excccited to ssssee me?" The snake asked, lifting the crown on Emi's head slightly so he could stare at her eyes with his yellow orbs. Though he didn't try his hypnosis jus yet.

"Eh, I'm just relieved I didn't, like, fall out of the tree," she replied. Still, she visibly relaxed in his presence, trusting the hypnotic snake. She knew him, after all.

"Oh pleasssse Emi you know I would have caught you" Kaa chuckled, the crown sliding down from her head to her shoulders. "What bringssss you to my branch today? Doing jungle girl thingsss?" He asked, using his tail to brush away her soft hair.

"Yeah," she replied. She was comfortable letting him slip his tail around her shoulder, like a friend. A long time ago, he met her father, hypnotized him, and they'd been friends ever since... And no, there are no "implications" there. Later, he met Kainak's girlfriend-turned-wife Julie, who was more reluctant to let him hypnotize her, because of her fierce feistiness. Oh, he did hypnotize her on occasion, but mostly whenever Kainak was around.
Now, she and her siblings were often subjected to his hypnosis. The eldest, Makoa, let it happen on occasion. Second-oldest Keanu was more than willing to play along, and her older sister Nami hated Kaa's guts.

"Sssso boring" Kaa sighed as he heard Emi's answers and lifted his coil off her shoulders. "Let'sss get you more comfortable" the snake offered, suddenly scooping the jungle girl up off the branch and into a coil seat so her legs and feet dangled below.
"Nothing exccciting isss going on in the village? How are your parentsss and sssiblingsss? Do they...missss me" Kaa chucckled as his large, yellow eyes burst into colroful rings for a split second. The python daydreamed of hypnotizing the other members of Emi's family. He loved spending time with her and taking care of her, but he also wished to play with the others too.

Emi "Whooped" a second time as Kaa scooped her into the coil seat. Smiling, she got comfortable with a hand on his tail as he turned back to face her. She nodded to thank him. "I don't live in any of the villages," she reminded him. "I have a treehouse. And my mom's doing alright, so's my dad, so're Makoa and Keanu, and Nami... she wants to kill you."

"Ah yessss I do remember that" Kaa said, neither frowning nor smiling at the thought of Emi's more hate filled sister Nami. "And I did forget about your treehousssse. But itsss niccce to hear that your family isss well...and that you are doing well too" Kaa chuckled, giving the jungle girl's slender waist a slight squeeze.
"Relaaaxed?" Kaa asked, in a tone that hinted the snake had other intentions. Ones that Emi knew very well.

"Do we have to?" she asked, turning away. However, a roll of her eyes was enough to tell him that she knew what his intentions were, and she was subconsciously open to them. But she wasn't going to be forced into it.

"No...I ssssupposse we don't" Kaa sighed, disappointed. He knew Emi was a tricky one to crack. While the girl cub did enjoy his games, she usually put up a little resistance before being coaxed into a good time. Kaa would never force his hypnosis on anyone let alone his close friend, but he knew the jungle girl. He knew what to say and how to act, to get her to open up and admit she really wanted this.
"Thank I guesss I can't ssshow you my...sssurpissse" Kaa said, turning away and sighing again, hoping to draw Emi's attention.

"What surprise?" she asked, falling for his games. Sure, it was a little unusual she would react like that, but, she trusted Kaa.

"Oh I havent ssseen you in ssso long girl cub. There'sss sssomething I want to ssshow you. But you clearly aren't interesssted ssso I'll let you go and you can go on your way" Kaa sighed, acting sad. He wasn't lying to Emi as he did have a surprise, but he needed to really get her curiosity going.
