I’m sorry, Amalia , the big snake sent to his friend, regret in his mental tone. I looked already so that we could try that, but though I can sense the water all around the outside of this structure, I couldn’t find the way that it’s getting in. Besides, I don’t think we want to wash this poison down-, he started to add, worried for what it would do to the life outside the life outside the Spire, before the hill where the (maybe?) Tulmhainar had (possibly?) died seemed to erupt in a frenzy of invertebrate activity.
He wanted to shout a warning to Vai, but he had neither the vocal chords nor spare breath to do so as he slithered swiftly back towards his endangered friends. Amalia, Deimos, and the Fae were all under attack from a swarm which might have been susceptible to a blast of fire… had any of them had that capability. The swarm was nothing he could grapple with or bite, but its tiny soldiers were the kind that would go either squish or crunch under enough surface area.
And he currently had a fair amount of surface area with which to do both, and scales to protect him from the larger biters and smaller stingers.
Without pausing to change forms, he flung himself into the fray, literally throwing his weight around as he thrashed about with his heavy length, attempting to use speed and momentum to crush the non-flighted bugs either beneath him or between his coils as he writhed, doing his best to knock some of them away from his friends and the Fae in the process.
Snake-gano tries to crush and flatten the larger clumps of non-flying bugs and knock at least some of them away from the others!
