"It means something to me. No one has called me handsome since I was a boy," he murmured softly, voice dropping in timber as he too began to slip towards sleep. His fingers played over the snake's body and head, careful not to be too bothersome to it. "At least we have this now," he murmured sleepily before he drifted off, warm and comfortable.
