['What
are you doing?! You're full! You're full'] Jaabir would sigh,
'pleassse ssshut up'. While Jaabir awoke a latent part of his mind,
one of primal serpentine hunger. . . another part made itself known
soon after. At first it was only a minor annoyance, but now once his
mouse was swallowed entirely, it saw fit to complain. ['You can't fit
that in your stomach! You're full!'] His eyes opened reluctantly, as
he tried to enjoy the situation. He’d pass a glance to the bulge as
it made its decen

A
few moments would pass, and Jaabir would look to the pond. The snake
didn’t have a very good sense of time, so he’d wait just a little
longer. . . before growing impatient and rationalize he waited long
enough. It shouldn’t take long for Lichthia to get the food ready:
Both the mouse’s and his. And so, he’d slither over to the pond
along the grass, approaching slowly and flicking his tongue through
the air. When the scent grew its strongest, just before the location

The
serpent would watch the two below him. Grinning to himself,
anticipating just what his mouse might have planned. A game? He
wasn’t so sure. Maybe something she just didn’t want the rabbit
to hear, he’d reason. In a way he felt a little sorry for the
bunny, but, he clearly was much less lonely than he would have been
otherwise. As Lichthia climbed up, Jaabir raised a portion of his
body as he always did, to make things easier on her. When she got
herself comfortable, he’d raise his he

The
sun had sunk beneath the horizon, and the night sky was filling with
stars. Fur-clad, Lichthia was snuggled up in her favorite spot, atop
the sunning stone amidst the coils of the python. She was tired, had
been tired all day, but she’d also been her cheerful self again.
And she’d been busy! She’d cleaned up the soiled rags from her
game with Jaabir, along with her robes, and hung them up to dry.
She’d finally picked up the bunny fur and stored it away. The next
step would be to past

It
was late in the morning, the sun having already begun to rise and
start to bring its warmth on the pond below. Its light would soon
reach below a large stone near the waters. A large open space where a
python made its residence.
A
snake wouldn’t be the only creature laying below the rock, in-fact
only one of three. Residing too within, would be a mouse and a
rabbit. Yet only the rabbit was awake.
The
brown lop-ear looked worried. He had woken hours ago and could not
see the mouse anywhere.

The
sun had long since set, there was a clear sky and the stars were
bright, when a small shape stirred from the sheltered spot beneath
the sunning stone that overlooked the python's nest. Cloaked within
her robes, the mouse lifted her muzzle skyward, surveying the night
sky, whiskers trembling in a light breeze.
Satisfied
the coast was clear, the mouse made her way down the stone surface to
the grace below, and walked towards. She'd rediscovered something
she'd forgotten--long naps during the d
