[font=trebuchet ms]The only snakes she had any experience with were those of the supernatural kind, and she had no desire to repeat those particular experiences. They were the memory-robbing type, striking at the drop of a hat, regardless of who disturbed them. Even the sweetest of heart and strongest of will were not spared. Still, regular snakes probably did not share those traits or that level of power. They were, like all creatures, a blank slate upon which a soul wrote themselves.
Rin hadn't expected to find anyone when going into the observatory that day. Well, maybe that wasn't entirely true; she was preparing a battleground. If she was to be attacked by Venus today, she ought to be ready, while also being far away from potential bystanders. She wasn't sure what the deity might try, and she couldn't risk anyone else getting hurt.
However, the observatory was not empty, being occupied by Killua and- a snake, curling around his frame. Rin tensed up in preparation for a fight, but watching Killua pet the snake's head, she relaxed slightly. This was his pet? She had known a couple individuals with pet birds, even one with a pet butterfly, but none with a pet snake. Unconventional though it may have been, a companion with venomous fangs would be incredibly useful in combat.
"What's his name?" she asked, twitching her ears. She might have asked where he'd found the snake, but she suspected it was probably in his former home of Snowbound. From her experience, it was best not to detour the conversation in that direction, unless he steered it there himself.
