The predatory serpent grinned.
Happy and well-fed.
Smoke around his nose thinned
His ugly mouth said:
« You know, that’s why it’s so nice to flirt
With you. You are so malleable
And sincere. You are completely alert
About that, I don’t have the noble
Slightest interest in you.
It looks like your dreams
Are not meant to come true.
You’ve been alone for too long, it seems. »
