Big Salmon Lake magnesium

Honestly, Markus had thought nothing too strange about the guy before that moment. He wore live necklaces and if he were being honest, yeah, he was kind of creepy. All dark and slinky-like. But the grey wolf hadn’t gotten a single sniff of crazy town until the man spoke of his god-gifts. His snake-god-gifts. Well...that was definitely different.

Markus didn't immediately turn and leave, maybe at a trot to be safe. He may have only just picked on the cues of nuttiness in the guy but he didn't feel threatened quite yet. He tried to keep the look of amused disbelief from his expression as he watched the darker male pet his god-gifts. Markus definitely wasn't the weird one here, no matter what he and his reflection did when he thought they were alone.

"From the gods, huh?" He cocked his head, imploring. "What gods? Why snakes? Seems a bit weird for a gift."
