As they walked on across the plain, Fred found that his thoughts kept
returning to the snake. Snakes were traditionally deceitful and
untrustworthy, and they only had its word for it that it had been sent by
the Spirits. Supposing that it was working for someone else? Perhaps
someone who was opposed to whatever mission it was that they were supposed
to be on? He did not mention any of this to Astra, not wanting the snake
to overhear.
After a while, the snake - explaining that its kind were not used to travelling long distances and that it was tired - twined itself around Astra's leg again.
