Take a moment

Koby didn't mind the leopard. It was only trying to protect the girl and he understood that. As the snake made sure his full attention was on the pup as she spoke. An anaconda! He hadn't seen one of those in years. As far as he was concerned a lot of the other snakes were not as intelligent as his race but of course he could always be proved wrong. "Sssoundss sscary! Cobrasss tend to mind their own bussiness we're actually a very doccile type of sspeciess." it was true and he wanted to make that known. They just wanted to live their own lives and go about their business. When she went to speak about wolves eating fruit he was surprised! Something he didn't know. "Interesssting! I never knew you could eat sssuch thingsss, if I tried I would probably throw it back up." his body just simply wasn't made for such things.

His eyes gleamed when she asked what a fortune teller did. Excitement expressed through a quick opening of his mouth slightly and then shutting as his tongue flickered out. "My dear girl!" he exclaimed. "A fortune teller tellsss of your passt, pressent, and future! I read the bonesss of your prey and give a essstimation of what might happen to you at thossee datess. It'sss a ssugesstion asss we have control of our own desstiniesss." he hoped this was something that she could understand. As she said he could accomplish what he wanted by working hard he was proud of such things. "Thank you, it isss nice to hear a princess ssay thiss to me." he dipped his head to her.
