anyway tuuri indeed gets to see that there is a long, curled up shape at the very back of the couch - a snake. it peers back at them both, and then seems to startle and starts to shrink back further into a corner. ]
[ both big and brightly colored. he sighs, propping his chin in his hand in temporary defeat. ]
He's what's called a banana python. An albino one, if you want to be very specific - really, for his size, he's only about medium, or so. They can grow to be up to five feet long.
No, he's not. In fact, if he bit you, it wouldn't even hurt! His jaw strength is pretty weak. Pythons are constrictors - they wrap around and constrict their prey to kill it instead of poisoning it.
Yes, very good! Exactly. Though, truthfully, he's a big baby. [ he gestures to the python who is indeed cowering under the couch. ] He wouldn't last a second out in the wild.

But Tuuri is here! And she pauses by the doorway when she sees Lu Bixing over by the couch.]
Lose something over there?

anyway. at the voice, he looks up! and then looks a little sheepish and sighs from where he's now moving to lay on his stomach. ]
...Something like that. It's not really lost, just... very stubborn.

[Time to crouch down and look under the couch! Hello Popcorn!]

Ah -! Oh, damn. Sorry, he's - a little shy.

It's okay! But wow, I've never seen a snake that brightly-colored before! And he's so big too!

[He's got a friendly python face, it's hard to believe he's a danger. But if he can get to five feet long that's so big.]

[ teacher voice. ]

Oh, so that's why his body is so much wider than on the snakes I've seen before! He must have quite a bit of muscle to be able to constrict his food.

[ he nods!! and then starts looking around, sitting up.a bit...? ] Let's see. Is there any of that terrible pizza around?
no subject
[She goes back to the table to check, and comes back with both a piece of pizza and a slice of cake.]
Neither of these are meat though, I'm not sure if he'll go for it.
no subject
[ SIGH
he settles back to where he was, taking the pizza slice and breaking off a piece of it. ]
Popcorn, come on. I can take you to your daddy, please...?
[ popcorn lifts his head and stares at them both. woeful. miserable. he does not move. ]
me tagging you while you make the slut chart
[Who could that be? Tuuri does not know, she thought Lu Bixing owned Popcorn.]
