Kaneo sighed, too tired to argue the effectiveness of his weapon. He sat outside for a while, watching the jungle and its myriad denizens going about their business, before deciding that Ne'friss was probably asleep. He entered the shelter, his eyes having become accustomed to the darkness by then, and went to lie down next to the girl, but froze upon noticing something - a snake, crawling across her. He approached it cautiously, before realising that that particular breed was near-harmless - a bite would hurt, but they were not poisonous.
Gently, being careful not to wake Ne'friss, Kaneo slid his hands under the snake - one near the base of its head, to about being bitten - and gently lifted it up. The creature thrashed about for a time, but he had it securely held, and left the shelter, gliding down to a lower branch where he safely deposited it. Confident now that Ne'friss was safe, Kaneo flew back up to their makeshift tent, and lay down next to Ne'friss in the darkness, falling quickly into slumber.
