Cass winced, ever so slightly. He was just a kid, she reminded herself, and it was true. "I suppose I am, or pretty close," she agreed. "But it would be pretty funny, for a snake to have a pet snake. Tell you what. If they actually give me one--I mean, they might not--then you can come and see it if you want to." Even if the topic freaked her out a little, it seemed to have an opposite effect on Cody; this was good.

"Yeah, it would" he chuckled at the thought. It would be a neat pair
"Really? That would be the best" he huged Cass but quickly stoped and let her go. Cody felt really embarassed for doing it, he barely knew her!
A change of topic was defenetly in order "Err.... how come you have feathers?"

Cass practically beamed after the hug; it was nice to know she wasn't completely a freak.
"... the feathers. Um. I don't know," Cass laughed. "Apparently, there is a very old story about a feathered snake. I'm kind of scared of snakes, actually, so they gave me feathers so it wouldn't be quite so bad for me. That's what they told me."
This was a horrifyingly positive version of events, she had to admit to herself.
"And I guess I'm supposed to look like this guy from the story." She spread her feathered arms out and peered at them critically.

"Scared of snakes?" Cass must really be unlucky, to become an animal she was afraid of. At least the feathers gave her a more exotic look
"I don't know that story. But does it work? Making you feel better?"

"Maybe it helps a little." Cass shrugged easily. "Although I never heard of the story, either, before they told me about it. I guess they're sort of pretty."

"Well they look really cool on you" Cody smiled, looking at the nice combination of colors "But I didn't know they could mix animals. Are they parrot's? And can you fly with them?"

Cass was clearly tickled by anyone showing such an apparently earnest interest in her. "They're macaw wings, which is a type of parrot, I guess. And I can't fly. They're not proper wings... not yet, anyway. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fly. Maybe if I practice." She laughed, and her tongue flicked out quickly.

"I hope you can, bet it would be awsome to fly... as long as you don't crash land on me"
Cody was laughting as well when he noticed the tongue flicker. He whispered a cool as he watched it move and returned back inside the mouth

Cass laughed. "I haven't fallen out of a tree yet, but I will definitely try not to squash you."
Her tongue had flicked out involuntarily, and her first reaction when she realised, by Cody's reaction, that she had done it, was to cover her mouth. She stopped herself, though, her hand halfway there, and let her arm drop.
"I shouldn't stick my tongue out," she joked. "It's sort of rude."

"You climb trees?" that seemed really odd since he didn't have any legs (that he could recognise)
"No it's not, I do that all the time" he sticked out his tongue to prove it, though not completely "But I can't flick it like you can. And is it really splited?"

"Well, I'm a tree snake." Cass looked a bit bashful. "I like to sit in trees. And probably the bird in me doesn't mind that either."
"And it is forked." She extended her tongue slowly for a minute to show Cody. "It took some getting used to."

"Oh! But how do you climb? You don't have any legs!"
Cody stared at the tongue, looking at how cool it was. But yeah, he'd found hard to get used to if got one as well

"No, I don't." Cass looked down at her stubby limbs. "I guess I climb the same way a snake does. Slithering works almost as well going up as it does going over the ground." She grinned. "You're probably more interested in it than probably anyone else I've met."

"Didn't know that. But coming from you it must be true" he grinned
The second statment made him blush a little bit, god knows why
"Snakes are cool. I don't get it why some people are so afraid of them. Or of spiders"

"I guess I never though of snakes as being cool," Cassidy admitted. "They always creeped me out. Spiders, too. It's good that you're not afraid of them, though. Or of me, either. I think I might be a little scary. Hey, when Halloween comes, I won't even need a costume."
