So when she delivers her verdict, Varus waits with quite the pose – the hanging snake’s head in his metal hand, his head angled toward it as he scans it over – until she tells him the snake did most of the work. There’s an air of a gasp that overcomes him, head snapping toward her with a raise of his brow, but the amused tilt of his lips gives away any attempts at seriousness he has. “Really?
