I thought you said forever over and over
Liam’s work was going well, which was surprising in and of itself, if only because this was by far the biggest project he’d taken on since beginning his self-study of carpentry. It appeared that he’d done well with teaching himself, given how smoothly laying the beams was going. While he had to fiddle with a couple to get them level, in the end, he was quite pleased with the foundation for the floor.
He was just picking his way back across the branches and beams when a rustling movement drew his attention, and he looked up to see a few hanging snakes emerge. They crept closer and closer, seemingly drawn to his body heat, and the soldier paused to watch them with a bemused expression. Honestly, he was inclined to leave them be and work around them - at least until they began to wind their way around him, with one attempting to climb his leg.
Laughing softly to himself, he reached down to attempt to unhook the snake from around his leg. He didn’t sense any malice in the creatures - only a sense of curiosity. ”You can’t stay here,” he informed them. ”Time to go.”

Liam tries to gently shoo the snakes away!
