When the old man went down the grab Fly, he instinctively lowered himself, like a kitten does when their cat parent picks them up, though it was more out of being unsure what JW was gonna do. Not long after, he was over his shoulder, only to find himself slinking down his back.

It took a moment to right himself, flopping around expertly before straightening himself out along the snake man's long back and wrapping his arms around his... "Waist"? Can you even call it that? "Alright! We can go."
