▤ = falling asleep on them .
He forgot what landed them to just hang out. Well, it was obvious, bringing the snake he recently adopted to Korekiyo’s attention. He wanted to show off Asparagus, and how cute the large snake was indeed.
Cooing and giving little kisses, he let Korekiyo continue with more and more chats on various snake related folklores. He knew of the infamous medusa but to be told it was for many cultures a representation of rebirth and eternity was actually cool. Though also brought up the discussion of possible snake names with more meaning to them. As cute as Asparagus was as a name he wanted something to elicit fear and thoughts of immortality.
“Nagas were Buddhist serpents that interacted with both deities and mortals.”
“The connection is interesting, and very blatant. But I feel no fear.”
“And you do from San-D?” Korekiyo very gently whispered to himself.
Silence ensued but another suggestion was at least put into place. “Apopis was an Egyptian god of chaos, who attacked the sun god. Mehen was another serpent that protected the sun god in opposition.”
“It does not fit society destroyer, Asparagus.”
It went on for a while before an understandably frustrated Korekiyo gave up, which led to talking of various things. But time seemed to escape the both of them as eventually Gundham himself felt his eyes seem to gain heaviness and his mortal form take him for another night. He had an early morning anyways.
Heaviness seemed to fall on his shoulder and jolt Gundham awake. Now, he wouldn’t call himself a touchy person. Or anything like that at all. In fact his reaction was enough to show case to Korekiyo exactly that, as he quickly got up, leaving Korekiyo to fall onto the couch, and let out a little screech.
“Mortal, how foolish of you to touch a lord with poison in his veins so casually! You very nearly had yourself killed! To touch my bare skin would mean instantaneous death!” He yelled out, throwing the scarf over his face to help with the embarrassment. To think someone was so quick to be so casual!
