Ethan nodded a bit at her question about touching the scales on his sides. "Yeah, I don't mind it." he said, moving the pillow out of the way next to him. His attention was on the mice now, his tongue flickering as he stared at them. Ethan actually was known to have patches of scales everywhere. The patches on his sides, shoulders, hands and back. "The only reason why I put the pillow in front of me was because you looked uncomfortable was all. I don't mean to make you feel that way." he told her, turning his head to look at her for a moment. "You must really like petting the scales, huh? They're pretty interesting aren't they..." he said quietly, allowing her to touch the scales.<br/><br/>He actually had never had anyone ask to touch his scales before. Let alone, be fascinated by them. This was a first, to which he didn't mind it much since she was his friend. "Does it, remind you of the snake that you petted before? The one that gave you kisses?" he asked, smiling a bit.
