He knew it, but he never tried to correct the habit. Hell, he wasn't sure if that was even possible to begin with. In rare moments like this, there were those that didn't mind how words poured from his lips too quickly. Devland listened, eyes watching the tiny mamba, as the elder feline introduced himself.
A smile - a real, genuine smile - blossomed on his face as Séamus introduced himself and offered Devland a fact of his own. Devland wasn't sure this had ever happened before. Most turned their noses up at his ranting, but here was someone who didn't seem to mind it. Better yet, here was someone offering another piece of trivia. Devland pocketed the information. "Pleasure to meet you, Séamus," he dipped his head, "and I actually didn't know that. It makes complete sense though, doesn't it? I mean, if you think about it, baby black mambas are much more at risk than adult ones. They'd need more protection, huh?" He lifted his eyes from the snake finally, resting them on Séamus. "Niamh's a nice name for her too."
Devland scarcely noticed Michael or Roxie's arrivals once his attention returned to the reptile. The smile that graced his face moments early evaporated, leaving behind a concentrated look. He was studying. Remembering his manners, he mumbled a quick, "Hello," to those who arrived after him. The corner of his lip twitched upward, hinting a smile, as Niamh peaked out of the basket.
