(Lol thanks)

Bastian smiled warmly at him. “Do you want to pet him?” he asked

Halo nods slowly, "I-if I may?" he asks quietly, outstretching his hand to the python.

Bastian shifted the python a bit so that he could pet it

Halo smiles, gently petting the python, humming a little as he felt the scales beneath his fingertips.

Monty looked over at him a bit dorkily before trying to slither onto Halo’s hand

Halo chuckles softly and allows the snake to do so, smiling.

The snake crawled onto his wrist before staying there. Bastian smiled warmly. “Looks like he likes you.”

Halo smiles a little chuckling softly. "Hello Monty." He says happily.

The snake looked up when Halo said his name, and Bastian chuckled. “Alright, let’s get him fed,” he said before walking into the kitchen

Halo follows after him, humming gently as he hoists Monty onto his shoulders.

Bastian led them into the kitchen, where he then began rummaging through the fridge

Halo gently pets Monty and smiles. He looks at Bastian. "Whatcha looking for?" He asks curiosly.

"Mice. Monty eats frozen ones so they don't hurt them," Bastian answered. He fished a tub of what looked like frozen mice out of the freezer, and he took one out before popping it in the microwave

Halo nods and gently scratches under Monty's chin. "You like mice, huh? I used to breed them and sell them." He mutters, chuckling a little.

"Well, I wish we had known each other sooner. Maybe I would have gotten his food cheaper," Bastian chuckled

Halo laughs, "I did it as a teen, since I had a python myself." He smiles. "I used to breed snakes, actually."

"Really?" Bastian asked, an excited sort of glint in his eye as he grinned. The microwave beeped, and he pulled the mouse out while Monty began swaying back and forth looking for it

Halo chuckles and nods, "Yeah I did." He smiles and watches Monty with bright eyes.

"Alright, let's go put him in his cage so he can eat," Bastian said, smiling as he booped Monty's nose

Halo nods humming as he walks back towards Monty's cage.

Bastian set the mouse down before taking Monty from him gently. The snake didn't seem to want to let go at first, though he eventually gave in and returned to his cage. Bastian grabbed a pair of tweezers from nearby before picking the mouse up and feeding it to Monty

Halo watches, humming in thought. He chuckles a little before leaning on Bastian a little bit, watching Monty with an interested expression.

Monty gulped down the mouse before retreating to one of his hides. Like this it was easier to tell that he was actually blind in one eye
