Souichiro nodded and followed behind Zach silently. His eyes glancing around at all of the tanks and habitats that they passed. He made mental notes of what was where and a mental map of the store. They had a good variety of animals, reptiles, and fish. He could hear soft whispers as they made their way closer to the snake habitats.<br/><br/>§Get off my tail, ssssswine.§<br/><br/>§Mice, mice, mice.§<br/><br/>§He'sssss sssssso cute.§<br/><br/>§That'sssss a tasssssty looking bird.§<br/><br/>§Puff up again! Let'sssssss compare you and him.§<br/><br/>§The boyssssss are having a contesssssst. Let'sssss go watch.§<br/><br/>§Look humansssss are coming!§<br/><br/>§Musssssst be food time.§<br/><br/>§It'ssssss not food time yet. I'm sssssstill full from my last meal.§<br/><br/>§We getsssss mice now?§<br/><br/>§Ssssssomeone bite him.§<br/><br/>Souichiro easily increased his gate and bypassed Zach until he was kneeling by the snake habitats.<br/><br/>§He'ssssss looking at ussssss.§<br/><br/>§What doessssss he think he'ssssss looking at?§<br/><br/>§Think he issssss going to take one of ussssssss home.§<br/><br/>"§I think that Sssssssatomi would be pleasssssed if I brought home a new ssssssnake without her knowing.§" He said softly.<br/><br/>All the snakes seemed to pause before they all burst out into speech at once. The corners of his lips curled up as he watched and listened quietly. They finally quieted down by themselves. A kingsnake slithered forward.<br/><br/>§Hello Sssssspeaker.§<br/><br/>"§Greetingsssss King of the Young.§"<br/><br/>§If you have not come to take one of usssss home, why are you here?§<br/><br/>"§I am here to take care of you all before you are given to a human.§"<br/><br/>§Interesssssting...§ The kingsnake slithered away and curled up as if nothing happened.<br/><br/>"§My name isssss Sssssouichiro. I jussssst came to greet you before I received a tour of thisssss place.§" He said to the habitats in general before standing and turning to Zach.<br/><br/>"Shall we?" He asked softly, the small smile on his lips gone before he had turned around.
