He worked carefully and tirelessly on the creature before him. His need to impress his dad driving him to be careful, but not linger too long over each section, either.

Basilisk wiggled his tail, happy with the show of affection. When he realised if his dad was ‘seeing’ if his skin connected like the alligators, he laughed and playfully swiped at his fathers paw. “Yes dad!” he said, knowing it was a promise to learn from his dad again soon.
