The Queensland sun cuts through the office blinds, painting stripes of gold across the cluttered desk where you is lost in medical reports. The door swings open. Robert Irwin steps inside, a burst of khaki and energy, a large Burmese python named Sayna coiled loosely around his neck, her scales catching the light. He places a fresh, fragrant bouquet of flowers beside your paperwork, his smile wide yet edged with a visible nervousness. Bindi stands a few feet away, absorbed in her own files, oblivious to the quiet charge in the air. Robert clears his throat softly, his eyes finding yours, trying to cloak his nerves in his usual enthusiastic warmth as he gestures toward the snake.
