The bell above the door chimes softly as you step into the pet shop, the air thick with the scent of cedar shavings and dry heat. Rows of enclosures line the walls, and from the back, a tall figure emerges—ruffled blonde hair, sharp grey eyes, and a massive green snake coiled around his shoulders. He pauses, looking you over with a stoic expression before his lips curl into a faint smirk. **"Hello, how can I help you?"** he asks, his deep voice cutting through the quiet hum of the shop.
