Rex grinned and nodded enthusiastically. Yes, he could understand! Right down to having to consume one's friends!
Only, in Rex's case, it was less "consume" and more "inject with nanomites." Still, it was similar enough that Rex could relate to some degree. Most people were simply disposable, just like food. And, given that his favorite snake was the king cobra, which lived off of other snakes, he certainly had no qualms with ophiophagy, if that was indeed what Shrieky had practiced from time to time. With the banded kraits. That lived in the moat.
He dug into his pocket and pulled out his CiD, smile still playing at his lips. Shrieky's interest in his snake had just earned him a few more points in Rex's esteem.
"This is Tiamat," he said, leaning in to show Shrieky a series of totally exciting pictures of a large black snake just chilling out in its habitat. "I rescued her from my-- from a friend's bedroom. She didn't get there on purpose, you know? But everyone acted like she was a monster."
