[say]"Mmm...?"[/say] The boy glances up at the sound of a voice, whipping around to offer a dimpled smile in Sunjata's direction. [say]"A what?"[/say] he asks, before noticing the snake around his neck. Startled, the ribbonlike reptile is now striped with red, and Mateo is clearly delighted by the sight of it. [say]"Ciao, piccolo serpente!"[/say] he greets the snake, reaching up to let it glide into its hands.
[say]"And ciao, uomo alto!"[/say] He nods to Sunjata while he's at it, the travelling tongue spilling from his lips like music, lending a melody to his accent. [say]"My name is Mateo, what's yours?"[/say]
