[ Your precious fireball might also be the most gullible idiot on the planet, because he's staring at the snake in his hand with a disgusted fascination. Much like, one supposes, the way a person looks at a crocodile in a tutu. ]
Really? [ And here he is, wide-eyed and believing that shit. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO HIM, JACK? He's so grossed out by the snake he doesn't even stop to be horny about the whole Jack-biting-him thing. ] You shouldn't even be touching it then, Jack! C'mon, drop that! [ It might not be poisonous, but bites suck. ]
[ And, of course, there is a dawning realisation that Jack's probably played him -- but he can't get angry when he hears his prince laugh; that's like, what, twice in day? It's a rare and precious thing, and Johnny settles for huffing. ]
If you aren't cute as hell whenever you laugh, I'd be so mad at you right now.
[ But there is no question that Johnny would fearlessly face down a nest of venomous snakes for Jack if it came right down to it. Meanwhile, the varren is going over to investigate. ] Are you gonna make something for Shadow with it?
[Well, not entirely. Jack hasn't really told him anything that wasn't true. There might've been a bit of stretching here and there, and he definitely enjoyed the reactions that came from it.]
With what, the snakes? [Jack gets an older pillowcase to put the bodies in, tying it at the top to dispose of.] No, but I could always make you a nice belt.
[ Johnny announces indignantly as he follows after him, Buddy trotting at his heels with Shadow falling into pace with. BECAUSE THOSE BOOTS ARE HIS LIFE. ]
[ Oh, he's serious. Johnny pauses and looks back at him, a touch surprised. ]
Hey, hey. [ He's stepping towards him, cupping his face gently as he works to smooth it over. He presses his forehead to his, smiling. ] No, I won't. I've got you to think about.

He sighs, supposing he's had enough fun for one day. Jack stands up, snakes still in hand.]
I'll get rid of them, don't fret your pretty little head about it any longer.

[ Johnny says helpfully, coming over now that the snakes are in the pillowcase. Look, he's not scared, okay. ]
You know, I can't find my red ones.

[He hates those boots. Jack takes the pillowcase and nods to him. They need out of there before the animals make a mess of the place.]

You will not.
[And he knows Johnny's joking, or more that he wouldn't really go in with them if it came right down to it. But that's not the point.]
no subject
Because you're gonna miss me, won't you?

[Oh uh, the name. Jack means business.]
You're not to go near it. Ever.
