Jack had been taught that all creatures that weren't human needed to be kept in check; they killed the bad ones, but they made it clear to intimidate the good ones as well. After all, they made their coin on killing, intimidation, and capture. He was not exactly the type to do more than take on jobs for the 'bad' ones, but he did his research first. Some he simply... encouraged to move along to different territory.

He'd never had any kind of real relation with a creature before. He had no cause to regret it.

Especially not with those snakes cuddling and sliding over his face. He stilled when that one moved into his short cropped hair, though it had been growing out lately so there was a pleasant amount to slide through. His fingers stroked other snakes as he tipped his head just a bit. "You guys seem friendlier when he's asleep."
