He tried to convince himself it was because he was familiarizing himself with the land, but he knew the correct reason was because he was antsy. After constantly moving every few days the last two months of his life, this sedimentary lifestyle was hard to grasp. Wherever he went, he felt cooped up. So rather than wander around the tavern for the umpteenth time, he instead chose to wander the bay.
Uninterested eyes watched the comings and goings of Typhoon members. In and out of their huts they went. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to live so close to the water... He supposed everyone here could probably swim, however, so he supposed it made sense. More than that, it fit the whole pirate aesthetic.
The first individual to truly catch his eye was Séamus and the little basket he carefully carried. Devland's interest was piqued. He could be so nosy sometimes. Deciding to take advantage of the fact that he didn't know Séamus, he would take the opportunity to introduce himself and use it to snoop.
The brown tom picked his way towards Séamus, offering the other a breezy smile. "Hello, I don't think we've met. I'm Devland Taji. It's -" He cut himself off as his half-lidded eyes fell to the contents of the basket. Immediately, the want to introduce himself vanished. All he was interested in was the black mamba.
"Did you know black mambas are one of only four species of mambas?" the boy asked, not taking his eyes off the snake. An easy smile curved his lip upwards. He prattled on, "Did you also know that these snakes have a terrible reputation that's not really true? Most everyone thinks these snakes are automatically aggressive - like for no reason, but in reality, they are pretty shy. Poor guys."
