Curious Mancub

As Kaa was thoroughly enjoying putting Bagheera under again, we can also see it wasn't really a question for him if he would succeed. He widens his eyes in glee before admiring his prey before him being totally clueless and happy. You can see Kaa thinking about all the things he could do to them in their blissful state. He unfortunately forgot about the mancub who was trying to throw him off because of this and gets sent offscreen.

Meanwhile Bagheera is happily subdued by the colors. His mind making sure to keep those colors going and eagerly waiting for anything Kaa might do. Before Kaa disappears we can see his spirals going quite quickly. He cycles through all the colors in those 2 seconds. Later when Kaa has fallen down we can see that the colors in Bagheera's eyes have slowed down a bit. Still hopelessly addicted but without commands or more stimuli from Kaa it might be that Bagheera automatically goes into a slow preserving state. Making sure he can last a long time.

As Mowgli yells and shakes Bagheera we can see that he doesn't register anything. The mancub and the whole outer world are not important. It takes a solid 2 seconds of repeatedly hitting him in the face to make him sort of regain his senses. And with his eyes closed he still keeps on smiling, and even when he opens his eyes without the colors for the first time he still has a big smile on his face. After a couple of more smacks his mind gets back to normal but clearly distraught and struggling to remember what had even happened. Probably an intended side effect of Kaa hypnosis. Leaving a trace of the feeling of hypnosis but not the actual memories during hypnosis or induction.

After he smacked Kaa he backed away a bit. But his body is stretched out and his face and eyes are looking directly at the angry snake.

As Kaa comes closer he tries to close one eye as he is retreating down the branch. Why wouldn't he smack Kaa again here? Why would Bagheera feel so helpless here? And why can't he stop looking at Kaa?

As Kaa rises in the air, Bagheera matches the motion. Sitting upright while his feet are still making the walking backwards motion. Seems his lower and upper body are not on the same page anymore.

As he comes to a standstill and Kaa comes even closer to his face he realises what has happened. He is stuck with the hypnotic snake in front of his voice. With that commanding voice and alluring power. What could he do?

What anyone would do who was already introduced to Kaa's powers. Smile at the prospect of feeling so good. Bagheera starts to plead, hoping Kaa would find reason somewhere to not do this in front of the boy. But somewhere Bagheera has accepted what will happen.

As Kaa threatens him some more we can later see how much Bagheera really wants it. His eye bulging forwards, seeking the most vision of Kaa's marvelous eyes. His mouth slightly opens as he starts to feel so good so fast.

His eye syncs up after a few rings. Mirroring the colors happening in Kaa's eyes. Bagheera is not confused like Mowgli. His eyes and mind know what to do...

It doesn't matter anymore how mad Kaa looks at Bagheera. The colors in his eye matching up perfectly with Kaa gives him such incredible pleasure that he starts to beg for more.

And just before he completely gives in we can see the smile reaching the climax. His eyes completely filled and just wanting to give in completely. Notice how a few frames before he Pings he is also no longer looking at Kaa directly. His mind is now stuck on those colors and their pleaure, making sure he makes them on his own.

Kaa had a mission, to make Bagheera submit. He didn't listen to his plea, he didn't gloat like with Mowgli. He didn't seem to be all smiley and full of himself. Instead he forces Bagheera to look at him with both eyes. He knows how to handle him, bringing his own eyes closer and opening them wide to emphasize the word "Both"

Bagheera knew his plea wouldn't work, his mind was already enjoying the colors. That smile appearing in a record time. His left eye already drowning and glued to Kaa. He forgot why he was here, what he was doing. It didn't matter anymore, he was already waiting for Kaa's next command. Luckily he didn't had to wait that long. Suddenly the colors from Kaa were so close to his own eyes. Combined with just the word "Both" was enough. Of course he meant both eyes, why was his other one still closed? His other eye opened and revealed that in his closed eye the colors were already flowing, his right eye didn't even need to look at Kaa. His mind already made sure the vision of both his eyes were filled to the brim with those pleasurable colors.

As Mowgli climbs out of Kaa's coils and wonders what happened, Kaa is busy making sure the Panther knows his place.

Here we clearly see that Bagheera knows what Kaa can do and how it makes him feel, we also saw that in the part before this. Bagheera closes and turns his head (half) away from Kaa, trying to avoid his gaze. But Kaa has no time for playing. The colorful rings in own eyes go fast, only showing 2 different colors instead of 4 with Mowgli. Perhaps the quick alternation induces the state faster in subjects who have been exposed more.

Bagheera was subconsciously already waiting for a command, something to be able to look at Kaa. As Kaa is halfway the word 'Look', Bagheera's one eye immediately opens and looks at Kaa. His eye bulging forward with every alternating colour that he sees. The strength of the hypnosis and the pleasure that he starts to feel making is head turn towards Kaa. His one open eye really wants to get as close as possible, notice that his pupil is already gone as well, its just the color that appears and disappears in the center of his eye. A sign that he already has given in. But maybe he feels ashamed that Mowgli might see him crumble like this. Its not that he does not want to get hypnotized, its just an embarrassment at the moment. That's why this strong induction takes a little bit of time.

Bagheera saved the boy, but in turn he got the full attention from Kaa. Angry that the panther would even dare to disturb him.

Here we can see how Kaa is very aware of his position in power. No pleasantries, no teasing, no joking. He glides towards Bagheera, his eyes level with those of Bagheera and eyes accentuating the Serious Mistake as he speaks.

Bagheera casually engages in conversation with Mowgli's predator before he sees the giant snake looking at his prey lost in bliss. After a second he realizes what has happened, the boy lost in pleasure and ready to accept anything Kaa had in store for him.

After Kaa mocks Mowgli he whispers a final command to close his eyes and go to sleep, making sure Mowgli would be the happiest he could be. He adjusts the coils slightly and lifts his prey up as he closes his eyes. Aligning himself with the mancub for the easiest way into his mouth. He is already daydreaming about how full he will be that he is ignorant to the panther rushing at him and blindsiding him with a smack. Kaa loses his focus and grip as he was completely surprised, dropping his prey as a result.

His pupils are still gone and Kaa is working his magic as he starts to wrap around his chest. He desperately wants to keep watching but the double sleep command hits hard.

As his eyelids lower we can see his rings are stuck on the same color. He lost vision of Kaa which gave his conscious mind a little chance to resume where it left off.

As his eyelids open up a bit again we see he advanced a ring and his pupils are still gone but he isn't looking at Kaa at the moment.

Which allows his pupils to resurface for a bit as his mind finally, with some effort, remembered he was arguing with Bagheera. But he also looks at Kaa again, making the boy so confused and advancing his own rings again.

The glimpse back at Kaa's mesmerising eyes made his rings pick up the pace again. His mind already losing track what he and Bagheera were arguing about, just the Panthers name resting on his tongue, an after thought really.

As he opens his eyes again we can see his pupils disappeared again. His mind released the thought of Bagheera, it wasn't important anymore. But his body lagged a bit behind, finishing the word automatically.

After that word was uttered and he got hit by a new view of those colors and his own rings provided him of that wanted pleasure. At this point he has surrendered and was ready to go to sleep. But Kaa already had other plans.

A tight tug around the neck sent a jolt through Mowgli. His colorful rings shooting inward and outward as adrenaline took over. He suddenly had a hard time breathing, his instincts took over.

The adrenaline taking over, his pupils back as he discovers that he can't move. He is trapped, how did this happen? What could he do? How did he go from an argument to being wrapped like this?

Bagheera, as any parent, was annoyed that Mowgli wouldn't drop it and disturb his own sleep. He didn't want to hear anything anymore.

As Kaa watched Mowgli completely drop in trance he was so proud of himself. As Bagheera talked unknowingly to Mowgli in trance he watched the Mancub's rings go faster and faster. The biggest smile appeared on his face as his mind stopped resisting. The boy was his, his mind addicted to those rings and the feelings of bliss washing over him. He looked with a smug smile as he saw the mancub being utterly lost. In this moment he had it all, and Mowgli as far as his now hypnotized mind was concerned as well. He responded to Bagheera what he thought, and what would have been true. The boy was without resistance, Kaa could have done anything he wanted. He lifts the boy up and squeezes him as he rotates his face with the biggest smile towards him. Mocking and admiring his prey at the same time.

Kaa is playing with his Mancub at this point. He already notices that the boy is lost in trance, unable to look away and unaware of the coils around his body. With the biggest smile on his face he commands his prey to go to sleep, to give in. His eyes moving from left to right as he utters the words, widening his eyes everytime a new ring of color appears in his eyes. He sees the boy go to sleep as the coils almost completely wrap around the boy. But then he notices the boy brabbles as he almost falls to sleep. Somewhere he did not want to sleep, something Kaa didn't count for. He wraps around as quick as he can and eventually silences the boy with a tight rug around the neck. Popping his eyes open to give subdue him more, cutting off oxygen to make him more drowsy.

Mowgli's pupils are gone and his eyes are filled with those wonderful rings of color. They are not yet going as fast as Kaa's, showing it takes his mind some time to adjust. But his mind has accepted those wonderful colors and the amazing feeling that courses through him whenever a new ring appears in his vision. The why question that he had earlier has definitely been answered. Because it feels so good to look.

Kaa is really going for it, making sure the stress from the earlier moments are soon forgotten. He doesn't want the mancub to have negative associations with this experience. His face nears the boy's face as he circles his head, making him follow his movements. Making sure that his vision is filled with his colors and making his body weary and exhausted. Then to seal the deal Kaa brings in his tail from behind the tree trunk and wrap around the mancub. His arms already hanging to the side, Kaa doesn't really have to do anything. Just slowly coil around him, making it a comfortable and happy experience.

Here Mowgli is still trying to comprehend what is happening. His pupils are a normal size and his brows are furrowed, hist left eye slightly squinting. Why is that snake smiling like that and why can't I look away? Is what he might be thinking.

Then as he can't keep his thoughts together his pupils shrink, eyebrows going up as his head goes up as well. No major stress lines around the eyes as his mouth opens a little bit further.

Then as his pupils are almost gone, new rings appear and he gets hit with a new wave of something... He is trying to determine what it is that he feels, hence his pupils are still visible.

He couldn't deny that it felt kinda good to watch and listen but it was getting more confusing by now. Thoughts about what is happening? turning into why is this happening? His pupils grow bigger as he tries to keep that new thought going. This time his eyebrows are not furrowed as he squints the other eye a bit to try and regain focus. His head tilting a little bit towards Kaa.

The new colors that slowly ripple over his eyes makes them open wide again, his eyelid opening as the new color touches the edges of his vision. He wants to see what the color does, why does he feel the need to keep looking.

Kaa knew he had to act fast as Bagheera was just behind him. He made sure to captivate the mancub the best he could. He already had him hooked on the first set of colors, but now he had to make sure he would want to keep looking and listening. The spirals in his eyes went quicker as he smiled and swayed from left to right. All while overwhelming the boy with the question of going to sleep.

With the idea of lulling the mancub to sleep, Kaa goes to work immediately. He leaves no room for the boy to retort or ask questions. He addresses him as the colorful rings start to appear where his pupils once where. Filling his own eyes with an alternating sequence or colorful rings. He has to warm up a bit, having to focus on his powers as he draws the mancub towards him. A big smile on his face as he sees the mancub already following his movements. That annoyed look quickly turned into fascination as he begins to kindly ask the mancub to listen with his "Please..."

Mowgli just thought to ignore the animal again, denying them the satisfaction of riling him up. Yes he knew he had to go to sleep. Yes he had to go to the village. Yes he...he...he had to....watch?

Bagheera shows why is a great guardian. Concerned with his own sleep more than any protests coming from Mowgli. He tells the boy to go to sleep, not knowing there is someone else listening.

Bagheera's plea gave Kaa an excellent idea. He could easily grab the mancub with his coils and hoist him up the tree. Or just squeeze him tight so he can't talk. But where is the fun in that? Why not see how well the mancub would respond to his suggestions, making him want to listen and obey whatever Kaa has in mind.

Seems like the snake didn't get the message Mowgli was trying to get across when he poked his tongue out. It was bad enough that he had to leave his home and get stuck in this tree with Bagheera, and this persistent snake is circling around and licking him.

Meanwhile Kaa is just admiring the food that walked inside his home. Kaa knows he is on the top end of the food chain and relishes in the fact that the mancub doesn't even know who he is. He keeps trying to look him in the face, seeing if there is any sign of distress or fear. But so far, nothing.
