songbirds & snakes

Ears twitching upon his skull, Sephiran was listening to the variation of hisses coming from the boulders- deciphering how many there might be, their sizes, species, etc. So far, the venomous snakes he’d seen out in the plains were rattlesnakes, mambas, and cobras. But perhaps this little enclave harbored more than that. “I trust you’ll have that sorted after we collect them?” He retorted, quick to the punch. He was making this her task of the season, if she hadn’t picked that up already. Which meant, it would be her responsibility to conjure up a proper receptacle, when the time came.

Truthfully, he wanted to collect the serpents first, to harbor a stockpile away. But they needed to experiment first, and figure out a way to harvest them. Once they had that figured out, he would work on finding an enclosure before they collected more. The thought brought a wicked smirk to his lips, tongue sliding across his fangs. Unleashing a stockpile of venomous serpents on an enemy's doorstep... how delightful.

Turning towards her, he craned his neck downwards- nudging her shoulder with his snout, ushering her forward. “Go on.” He commanded, glaring at her with a mischievous flicker in his eyes. Soon after, he sauntered forward, curious about how she planned to capture a snake.
