No Longer Active (move to @fysh-food)

Currently getting my cheeks eaten and not even in a sexy way

Alexander lit up, setting his bag down on his desk. “They don’t like travelling very much, but they love The Bag for some reason, so I just let them hang out in there,” he explained, opening it up the rest of the way and gingerly lowering his hands into it. Soon enough, two snakes were wrapped around each hand and he was presenting them to Corrin.

The android stared down at them, scanning each snake carefully to make sure the beautiful creatures were in good health. “May I touch them? I assume they are good with strangers if Captain Fowler allows them here.” He cocked his head to one side and looked at both snakes with a smile. “My own snake is allowed here as well. He is at home right now though.”

“Oh, they’re definitely good with strangers but Vigne is a little weary about getting touched before he’s deemed someone worthy. Kernel, however, is a socialite and loves to be held by anyone,” Alex replied, carefully offering the albino snake to Corrin. “I’m sure Vigne will get used to you pretty fast. He seems to really like androids.”

Corrin nodded and gently took the albino snake from Alexander. He allowed it to smell him and wrap around his arm. “Hello there, little one.” The android almost cooed, looking over the snake carefully. “They both look to be in good health. I trust you’re taking care of them…?” He ran a hand over Kernel’s head, petting the snake. 

“I can promise you that I would die before these snakes weren’t properly taken care of,” Alex assured with a nod, bringing Vigne up to his shoulders to allow the snake to hang around his neck- it was a good source of warmth apparently, and his favourite place to lay. “They were my first companions after I moved here. Got ‘em from a gardener Jayson knew that couldn’t keep them anymore.”

The android let out a soft hum of contemplation as he admired the snake in his arms. “Would you ever be willing to take care of more snakes? By that I mean would you be willing to watch mine for a little while? Paid, of course…” The android gently scratched the top of Kernel’s head.

“Paid? There would absolutely be no need to pay me, I would love to take care of your babies for however long you need,” Alex assured, offering a bright smile as if to further prove his point. “And I’m sure they’d get along great with mine. They love other snakes, as long as they don’t encroach on too far their territory of course.”

Corrin raised an eyebrow, his smile turning enigmatic. “I wouldn’t want you to look after my animals without any compensation for your time.” The android’s LED circled in gold, his eyes slightly out of focus as he thought. 

“I’m glad. From what I heard of the Lieutenant’s reputation, he is doing significantly better for your presence. I’m sure Sumo also appreciates having a second person to love.” Corrin’s eyes dragged over the other’s face in frank admiration. The dark puppy eyes were a particular fascination of Corrin’s, and so different from his own. “Even though you were not purpose built to care for humans, you do a very good job of it.”

Corrin let out a gentle chuckle. The nervous, excited, happy rambling of his counterpart reminded him of the barking of a happy puppy. Gently, Corrin reached up and fixed a hair on Connor’s forehead, pushing it back into place.  “Perhaps I should come and visit some time?” 

“Then...perhaps we could spend some time there this evening. Just the two of us.” Corrin’s hand moved back to his side, though his eyes still moved over the other’s face in gentle admiration. “Your pulse has risen, Connor...and you’re quite flushed. Are you feeling alright?” His tone was one of soft teasing.

“I’m glad. From what I heard of the Lieutenant’s reputation, he is doing significantly better for your presence. I’m sure Sumo also appreciates having a second person to love.” Corrin’s eyes dragged over the other’s face in frank admiration.

“He’s five.” Corrin flicked through his phone to find another picture of Sour Cream curled up in a small, asleep in a large, luxurious tank. “He is a very pretty snake. I do my best to take care of him. He has a little trouble in the winter but other than that he’s always happy and healthy.” The android smiled at Connor. “Do you have any pets? I know Lieutenant Anderson has a St Bernard. Sumo, was it…?” He’d glanced a picture on the older human’s desk, but not much more than that.
