EVIE
there ain't no doubt in no ones mind
After a long moment of consideration, Evie drifts closer and bumps their shoulders lightly. Keeping her eyes on the branches overhead. "I'm sorry to hear that." There's no point in chastising him any further considering he's aware of his own hasty decision. And considering his literal loss of his fingers, it's probably not something Evie needs to drive home.It's easier to focus on their task after that, to move on from the conversation that is still stilted. The bridge is being built, but navigating the unsteady structure requires a certain finesse that Evie has in short supply. It's easier to focus on the snake that eyes her, tongue flickering out to taste her offered warmth. And if the branch dips a little lower than it should beneath the snake's weight as it moves, she prays Sam will not notice. The weight of the reptile on her is strange, but she stays still and as calm as she can be externally as it slithers up her forearm. Before it has a chance to burrow into her coat, she lowers her arm and directs it towards her pack, coaxing it in uncertainly and hoping for the best.
that love's the finest thing around
