Kaa's luck was indeed not indefinite, sooner or later it would run out. All the snake could do was to stave off the inevitable and have his catch stay asleep for as long as it was possible for him. He couldn't use hypnosis to prolong her slumber. Not until he took care of the other girl.
But he needed to make sure Emiko would pose no threat to him for the time being. His words became even quieter, yet in spite of that, his commands sounded a bit more... direct.
As if to lull the girl into a deeper sense of false security, his coils began to loosen around her arms a bit, but not too much. The python did not want to lose his catch like that, but some more persuasion would never hurt.
"Sleeep... You are so tired... You want to take a rest..."
The coils began to lift higher in the air, as if Kaa was seeking for a branch to put Emiko on for now. Which was exactly the case. The snake would come back for her once he dealt with Selena, but for now his mind game with the foreign girl was coming to an end.
"Sssssshhhh... No more talking for now... Until morning"

Little by little, Emiko started drifting back into a natural state of sleep that had basically been her state through this entire exchange... It was by the sheerest luck that Kaa had gotten away with things the way that he had. Getting the girl to stand, walk, and even coiled up all while in the most fragile of sleepy states. Yet...the results spoke for themselves as here she was seemingly as helpless as ever...
The serpent's rocking motions continued to work pushing Emiko back into the sleep she was teetering on the edge of. And the coils loosening around her body seemed to help with that endeavor just as much. The slack around her arms did help to give her a false sense of freedom that made the coils feel more like a blanket now than a prison or a bind. That worked wonderfully to lull her down even more, but it didn't stop there...
The serpent went on to insist that she was so tired and wanted to take a long rest. And honestly? She did... Emiko was so exhausted after everything that had happened with...Kaa's influence that she did just want to rest and sleep. And that's when this state of hers REALLY started to set in. Just in time for the coils to pull her higher into the trees...
Emiko let out a rather long yawn as the sleepy feelings took her over more and more. And it was during this time that Kaa instructed her to be quiet and not talk anymore until morning. Taking that command with her, the exhausted girl gave the snake a very sleepy, soft nod of her head...
"...O-okaaay..." She'd say, trailing off in mid-word before being finally falling. Her body would instantly go fully slack, her consciousness faded, and a look of simplistic sleepiness spread all over her face. All simple, but sure signs to show that poor Emiko had just fallen asleep...

Indeed, it was Kaa's luck that things played out his way. He was prone to losing control of situation every time things did not go his way, but this time everything seemed to have gone without a hitch. With Emiko ensnared and asleep in his coils, the serpent rocked her several more times to keep her content.
"Poor, helplessss Emiko..." - the snake hissed in a seemingly concerned voice, his coils eventually leaned the captured female against the tree branch, with the other end having been untied earlier. His tail gave a small headpat to the coiled woman.
Now, all he needed to do was getting Selena under his control, and he would have nothing to be afraid of. But... Could he have left Emiko too far from her companion by chance?
Fortunately, not much. The snake could see a glimpse of the village girl, but he had to leave at least some of Emiko's body free of coils. He was hoping his earlier commands would keep the sleepy tourist sedated long enough for him to kidnap Selena.
His coils began to slowly uncoil Emiko's body, and Kaa began to head towards the other female. Unlike last time, he would have to use his magic on her - the village girl seemed to be not as helpless as he thought. The branches and twigs were not too much of an obstacle to him anymore.
Once he was just above her, the python decided to start his trick the same way he caught Emiko. There was no use to use spirals yet, but the time would come very soon.
"Selena..."

As Kaa gently deposited the slumbering girl within his coils on one of the higher branches of the tree, he'd find her body quite easy to manipulate. With her lower half still being completely uncoiled, Emiko would come to sit on the branch with her legs dangling idly on either side of it. Her head would roll for just a moment or two to get comfortable before nestling into the coil around her neck. After a wiggle or two to get comfortable, she was once more fast asleep without the slightest idea of where she was or what was going on.
After being deposited away, Kaa had made a random comment about how helpless the girl seemed which...honestly went in one ear and out the other. In this natural state of sleep of hers, not much was getting in or out of her like it would a trance. Naturally, that meant there was very little Kaa could say to influence her now. At the same time though, she was more oblivious in a natural slumber than she would be otherwise, so...win-win, perhaps. Even still, for all tense and purposes, Kaa 'had her' and short of waking up, she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Despite that...it seemed like Kaa was willing to take a chance by shifting his sights on the other girl for a two-course meal. That would really put his catch who was only in a natural sleep into jeopardy as it meant unraveling his coils from her form... Releasing a catch that wasn't even fully hypnotized was really pressing his luck. But Kaa seemed content to push forward and...his luck had held out thus far.
Kaa's luck would again hold firm as he went to unravel some of the coils around Emiko's body in an effort to get extra length to go after Selena. She did stay asleep for the time being. Whether by his suggestion, or just being that tired was anyone's guess. But she rested despite the cocoon she slept in getting thinner and thinner. And the extra length would give him an edge on Selena. Though...getting her wouldn't be as easy as it had been for Emiko.
Down below, Selena was sound asleep; lost in a deep slumber that made her essentially dead to the world. If she had been a lighter sleeper, Kaa's earlier attempts to lure Emiko away would have captured her attention. But...not her. In fact, as Kaa called out to the native woman, she seemed to ignore him entirely. Short of letting out a disgruntled snore and turning about...she showed no other signs of waking. At least...for the moment. Kaa certainly had his work cut out for him.

Even though Kaa's attempt at stirring Selena up went nowhere, it basically meant that he had much more time to think up of what to do next. He was lucky enough to put Emiko to sleep in his coils without hypnosis, and in order to keep his fortune intact, he needed to give a different approach.
After spending several seconds to ponder on what to do, Kaa finally got an idea. He needed to take Selena by surprise, but given how deeply asleep she was, the jungle python had enough time for preparations.
His large, long tail began to form a mattress-like of coils just near the oblivious village girl. Having made sure to place it as close to her as possible, Kaa put a part of his tail against Selena's right hip. He was trying to pull her on his coil bed as quietly and smoothly as possible, going slowly but surely with his attempt.
The reason behind all that? Kaa wanted to get back to the tree Emiko was sleeping on as soon as he could. The risk of her waking up and ruining his plans once more was something he could in no way afford. It was best to get Selena right where Emiko was, so that the scaly predator could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
The strategy was very risky, but it could be worth the effort. Luck was all Kaa needed at the moment.

Kaa would have run into considerable trouble trying to stir Selena from her sleep. Even if he did manage to wake her up, there was little to suggest that she'd be as passive as Emiko was after waking. So the snake decided to wisely switch up his tactics. Though...doing so still posed a risk and required his luck to hold out the way that it had been thus far...
To that end, Selena slept on oblivious to the fact that Kaa was starting to form a coiled-mattress in the hopes of taking her somewhere more secure. A place that was a bit closer to his latest catch which...he was already risking by leaving alone. Kaa was able to form this 'mattress' however in almost total silence. And any sound that Kaa did make fell on deaf-sleepy ears. Selena never one time took notice of anything that was going on around her.
Eventually, the mattress had been made, and then came the moment of truth to get the sleeping girl on it. In an effort to make the transition, Kaa let his tail wrap around Selena's right hip and attempted to tug her onto his coils. He'd find his efforts momentarily resisted as the Indian native fidgeted somewhat uncomfortably and actually turned away from the snake putting a bit more distance from herself and the platform... It seemed as if Kaa's luck was starting to turn for the worst, but...would shift just as quickly a moment later.
As Kaa tugged at Selena's hip again, the sleeping girl seemed to become even more active actually going so far as to kick the leg that Kaa was coiled around. For a moment it seemed as if she might actually wake up from his forcing. That was, until the 'discomfort' of being tugged forced her to roll in the opposite direction she had rolled previously. In doing this, Selena had actually quite hilariously rolled herself right onto the coiled mattress. It wasn't quite a firm landing with only three quarters of her body now rested on the mattress. But a majority of her body was now on Kaa's coils.
And yet, despite where she was, the oblivious girl continued to sleep on without a second thought. It was obvious from a few movements and jerks that she was still adjusting to her 'bed', but at least she was there and sleeping on it. Even with Selena mostly in place, Kaa still had to be careful. She might prove easier to move than Emiko in her sleep, but one wrong move could spell disaster for him... Once again, Kaa had luck on his side with things working out beautifully for him... At least, for now...

Kaa let out a quiet nervous gulp, barely keeping himself from making any sudden moves. He had been doing the job good so far, but he had to get it done completely. If somehow Selena was on his pile of coils completely, she would be much easier to move around - right to where Kaa planned to take her to.
His coils slid across the jungle ground smoothly, and then attempted to fit the rest of the villager's body on his oversized scaly pillow. With a single, slow and yet smooth push, he was going to make the young woman fit entirely on his coil bed. In his attempts to do so, the jungle snake held his breath - focus was all he needed at that moment.
In his mind, he was already thinking of what to do with Selena once he got her to the tree trunk - surely, he would have to wake her up sooner or later, but with Emiko up in the treetops, this could prove to be quite a problem. Nonetheless, he decided to continue doing his trick with getting the native girl on his scaly bed... and, involuntarily, his coil mass moved several centimeters forward. It was a bit sudden, but it certainly wouldn't cast suspicion... At least that was what Kaa himself thought.

Kaa's luck would seem to hold out yet again as he slowly started to make his way back to the tree he had left Emiko in... His movements were just subtle enough not to disrupt Selena's sleep meaning that, as long as he had the patience, he most likely would be able to transport her to wherever he needed her to go.
Unfortunately, there was still a small part of her body that wasn't yet fully on the coils. And it was Kaa's efforts to remedy that situation that...sort of put his plan into danger. It meant moving Selena's dangling arm and leg which was risky considering how she reacted to even the gentlest of tugs on her body before. It was certainly a gamble trying to get ALL of her onto the coiled mattress, especially while traveling as he was. Yet...he did everything exactly as he needed to.
Deciding to take even this slow, Kaa was able to move Selena's body inch by inch without too much disruption. There was a time or two where Selena would tense up and fidget halting any further advances. But...she'd settle almost immediately afterwards and the process could continue. Kaa might find the movements of her body very slow and tedious, but at long last, he did indeed have Selena fully on his coiled pillow.
At this point, all the Indian native could do was just continue to snooze away without the slightest idea of what was going on. Kaa's slow, deliberate movements he thought would deflect any suspicion to what was going on. And, he was very much right. With Selena starting to get 'used' to her new bed, the slightest movements he made weren't enough to wake her right now. Yet again, Kaa had dodged a bullet and was on quite the lucky streak. It was far from over, but his luck continued to hold out.

Hoping to prolong his fortune by any means possible, Kaa began to slowly speed up in his attempts to get back to where he left Emiko at. For a split second, he forgot where exactly he placed the sleeping Japanese girl, so much was he worried with keeping Selena oblivious to her current situation. But it did not take long for him to spot a familiar stone slab lying just near a tree trunk. This caused him to sigh with relief to himself. Trying to deliver the second female as quietly and safely as he could, the snake began to slow down once again. Not wanting to wake either girl up with how he was moving across the hard jungle ground, Kaa decided to make the rest of the whole process very swift and smooth.
He was coming closer and closer to Emiko's tree, all while keeping the other girl content with what was happening to her. If Kaa woke her up, he could imagine how betrayed and infuriated she could feel... but by that time, it would be too late. Restricting her physically was not an opinion, so the only means of calming her down was his hypnotic gaze. Perhaps... he wouldn't even have to wake Selena up completely. So many possibilities, so many methods to choose from...
By the time Kaa found himself just near the trunk, he decided to turn back to Selena. The coils shifted below her in a silly way, but it was done to both provide the young female a relaxing massage... and also turn her towards the jungle python's grinning face. He did not intend to wake her up just now - simple teasing with coils was never too bad of a way to get prepared for the incoming fun. Had most of his coil mass not kept Selena on the coil "raft", the serpent would have wrapped up Emiko by this point.
But Kaa would have a lot of time for that later, if he managed to keep his lucky streak going and put the villager back under his spell...

Kaa's luck in transporting Selena from one point to another would continue as he slithered along. Even as the pace picked up just slightly, she'd continue to snooze away as if nothing were happening to her. There were some moments where a bounce in the coils would rattle her just slightly. However, she'd do little more than twitch a limb or yawn before sleeping on.
At long last though, the python would find himself at the base of the tree he had left Emiko in where he went to work preparing a plan to ensnare Selena. With careful movements he was easily able to move her body just slightly into a new position where Selena did little more than let out a soft snore. She was in quite the deep sleep at the moment, and not about to wake up short of Kaa doing something crazy or erratic. His luck with Selena was holding out, but...the same couldn't quite be said about Emiko...
Despite what Kaa had done earlier to put her to sleep, his lack of attention or care to her after releasing her from his grip was starting to catch up to her... Her body being higher in the trees was more exposed to the night air. And the bark against her skin had slowly became more of an irritant with each passing minute. By the time that Kaa had returned to the tree, Emiko was already in a great deal of discomfort. And, it was ironically Selena herself who sealed the nail in the coffin of her sleep. The snore that came about from Kaa moving her was just loud enough for Emiko to not only hear it, but wake up at least a little...
Opening her eyes slowly, Emiko blinked a few times and looked about with her blurry vision. She couldn't really see that much and had very little memory of what was going on. Just...that she had fallen asleep, but not much else. She honestly didn't expect to be anywhere other than the jungle nest her and Selena had made, but...a soft shift of her body helped her to realize she wasn't there.
In confusion, Emiko sleepily looked down and noticed hints that she was was a tree branch, but didn't understand why. She was still very, very sleepy. And her state of wakefulness was fragile to say the least. Even still, Kaa's luck was starting to turn with this latest development and he might not even realize it...had Emiko not let a few words of confusion escape her lips...
"...W-where...am I? This...isn't the jungle floor...is it? How did...I get here...?" She'd ask with a tone of voice that was JUST loud enough to be heard. Not for Selena of course, but for Kaa... If he hoped to win both of these meals, he'd have to again shift his focus onto Emiko who actually was awake compared to Selena...

The jungle serpent was just about to start bringing Selena out of her sleep when he heard the other girl's voice above him. This was certainly a case of bad luck - Kaa tried his best to get to Emiko's tree with the sleeping Selena in tow - but even that was not enough, as it seemed. Having a helpless Selena in his grasp before being interrupted by Emiko - this was all too familiar. A nasty case of deja vu hit him like a truck. If he wanted to have both girls at once, he needed to think fast and act even quicker.
Slowly, his coil mass around Selena began to unravel, as Kaa began to make his way up the tree. He knew what needed to be done in order to put Emiko back to sleep. Perhaps he would have to use the spirals, just like last time. But he needed to subdue his prey before she woke up completely, no matter what. Fortunately, he was much more prepared to put her back to sleep than last time.
The more coils left Selena's body, the higher Kaa seemed to get on the tree trunk. Once he was back where Emiko was, his face soon appeared right in front of hers. But it was not just his face - but rather, a wide array of wide hypnotic colors which were emanating out of his eyes once again, at a very slow pace. Wanting to catch Emiko's attention, the serpent swayed his head from one side to another once more, the colorful glow being the most visible thing in the scenery ahead of her. Kaa was not aiming for a PING, but putting Emiko back to slumber was necessary.
"Ah no, Emiko... Pleassse go to sssleeeep... You musst have had a bad dream, nothing more..." - the whole situation repeated itself a bit, except this time Kaa had nothing to worry about. From his point of view, Selena seemed to be too deeply asleep below to really catch a hint of what was going on above her. In hopes of not making the same mistake twice, Kaa at least kept some coils of his below Selena, as he focused his full attention back to Emiko once again. He wrapped her back with his coil loop to keep the girl in place.
The night proved to be very challenging for Kaa, but his gamble could be worth the risk if he did everything right.

Emiko wasn't quite awake enough to comprehend anything that was going on, but was certainly more so than Selena... Thankfully for Kaa, Selena seemed to be deeply asleep and able to slumber so without much disruption to it. That would help him for now, but...there were no guarantees. Even still, Kaa's luck had held out this much, and he seemed to be willing to work with it as long as it would last...
Down below, Kaa would have to unravel some of his coils in order to get the length he needed to get up to where Emiko slept. Doing so was a risk in of itself as it meant there was less bed for Selena to remain asleep on. Even still, the serpent was right to think that the danger wasn't so much in keeping Selena asleep as it was getting Emiko back to sleep. Kaa needed to act decisively to make sure he kept his catches in toll, and he was doing just that...
As Kaa came up to the branch Emiko rested, he'd find her glancing about in confusion trying to wake up, but failing to do so. At least...until her attention was drawn to something colorful. Seeing the colorful lights in the corner of her vision, Emiko slowly turned her sleepy head in Kaa's direction and...was immediately captivated by the python's eyes. Rings of color flowed throughout his gaze very slowly, rippling out from his pupils with such grace and ease. And it just...left her captivated...
Emiko didn't even have time to comprehend what was going on when her vision became magnetized to Kaa's. And moments later, her own sleepy eyes slowly shrank to a pin-prick before opening into rings all their own... Almost immediately, the colors washed into her mind and left her open to what the snake had to say. His words, accompanied by the rings were...very potent...
Kaa instructed Emiko that she needed to go back to sleep and that she must have had a bad dream, nothing more. And honestly...she believed it... Emiko started to sway her head along with the python's and let out a long yawn as sleepiness began to overtake her once more... Almost right away, her ring filled eyes started to droop and there was a drowsiness within her that...she couldn't shake. But...it was all ok...
"...J-just...a bad dream... T-that's all...?" She'd reply sleepily, her eyes dropping more as she took in the rings. Oh, how sleep was sounding so good right now... That desire growing to be where Selena thankfully still was at the moment...

"Yesss, all a bad dream you ssshould forget... Sssleeep well... I will keep you sssafe" - from Kaa's point of view, the last part of his statement was at least true. Emiko could be indeed put in a safe place, except Kaa would be the one choosing it. And whatever he had in store was something that normal people would not consider a really safe place, but that did not matter. Kaa's strategy was working just fine, and the snake decided to not use too much of his own body on the poor tourist's body, since the reptile was already using his hypnotic eyes to quickly gain an advantage over the sleepy girl. Now, simple eye-to-eye contact would be all Kaa needed to have his magic do it's trick on the poor Emiko's mind.
"Ssssleeep..." - still however, a part of his tail began to creep up Emiko's body, up her waist and pinning her arms to her sides once more. Kaa had been doing this to others so many times he memorized how to carry the trick out perfectly. Just stopping short of Emiko's shoulders, the large snake continued to stare into Emiko's spiralling eyes, bringing the familiar feeling of his coils back to the drowsy girl.
The snake's spirals were not flowing too fast, but his spell was still in effect. The way the jungle snake was moving his head was hard to ignore. Leaning back and forth, left and right, up and down - and yet the spirals did not accelerate, nor were any other colors added to the hypnotic pallete. This time, it was being carried out a bit smoother and with much less aggression than during the evening encounter. The coils below the tree stayed the same, occassionally shifting below the female villager.
There was no threat of completely waking either girl up by accident... yet.

Poor Emiko absorbed the spirals without the slightest hint of hesitation. Not that they were bombarding her and making it impossible for her to do otherwise, but her sleepy eyes just...couldn't look anywhere else. Even with the rings flowing so slow and smoothly, they danced from Kaa's eyes into Emiko's just enough to keep her very captivated...
While still being sensitive and receptive to Kaa's words, the serpent worked to assure her that this was all just a silly dream she needed to forget. She just needed to 'sleep well', and he'd take care of the rest. That was such a relief to hear that Kaa was going to take care of her and that she had nothing else to worry about short of getting that bad dream out of her mind.
It wasn't long after this that...Kaa's tail lifted upwards towards the tree and made just the slightest rotation around Emiko's limp body. A single loop was all it took to secure her arms to her sides, and further coils just made her bonds more secure. It...felt nice being surrounded by the coils again even if Emiko didn't quite comprehend what was happening beyond those flowing ring-filled eyes; eyes that had her own head moving and dancing along with Kaa's so easily.
What really stood out though was when Kaa whispered for her to sleep... Such a wonderful word. A beautiful, powerful word that made Emiko blush and smile gently. A long yawn would escape her lips just a moment or so after before returning to a smile as she gazed sleepily into Kaa's eyes without fear or worry. She was falling fast, and it was obvious.
"Just...a bad...dream... S-sleep...sounds...so good...right now..." She softly whispered, the rings in her eyes flowing smooth and easy, eye lids drooping as sleep worked to claim her... Oh how she wanted to sleep right now. And she ironically wasn't even close to a real trance as much as she just wanted to sleep...
If nothing else, Emiko was close to nodding off again in a half-sort of trance. And Selena continued to slumber on peacefully herself without any idea where she was or what was happening around her. Kaa's luck was yet again holding out... And if he could get Emiko to sleep, there was a chance he might actually get away with...everything.

The colors began to speed up, one by one. The display was changing more frequently. It was still nowhere near the same speed they were going at previously, but Kaa knew that even using a fraction of his power would do the job fine. Knowing that his hypnosis was an additional factor over Emiko's drowsy condition, the jungle python decided to add one more detail to his hypnotic session. His tail began to encase Emiko's neck very slowly, not in a show of any force, but rather to make her feel even better. It did not take long until her entire neck was smothered with Kaa's smooth coils.
With most of Emiko's body encased in his coils, Kaa now only had to wait for the outcome. His eyes, however, still continued to emit the spirals, and they would not stop unless Kaa turned them off himself. His coils felt like a smooth blanket, the part of his tail around her neck would feel like the best pillow in the world. This was what the spirals were telling the poor girl.
And so, the jungle snake gave his final command to the poor girl.
"Sssleeep..." - the tail finally gave a light squeeze to the entranced female. It was not harsh, but it would certainly be a good conclusion to the serpent's machinations. This way his main message would be received much quicker and without any problems. Kaa was right, it was a bad dream. Emiko just... had to... sleep.
