Stepping back, the thief watched with obvious delight at the continued performative movements of his new friend, please to have found at least one person in this strange place that wasn't horribly uptight. Though with all this snow around, the snake couldn't really say he blamed them. Holding his breath as Amun shoved against the door, his lips and hands pantomiming out the potter's movements as if that would help. It did in video games of course, so you never knew.

However as the door held, the snake groaned under his breath. "She's always been a bit  of a cunt, but I 'spose that's her charm." James said with a wistful sigh, running a palm along the wood of the door like a disappointed lover.

"Oh?" Tilting his head in the direction Amun indicated, whereas anyone else might have seen just a ramshackle building, the snake merely saw opportunity. He'd lived in the dirt since being forced to cease his wanderings by the storms; anything with something even vaguely resembling a roof and walls was ace in his his books.

"Ahh right. Lead on then." He chortled easily, slinging an arm around Amun's shoulders but happily letting the older man lead.
