Is that so? I had no idea serpents were so cleverly designed. How very fascinating.
[Is all lightness and air as the dirty plate is fetched from the windowsill and surreptitiously shoved into the bedside table's drawer. So as to be in possession of an excuse should there be any questions, on the way out Wysteria draws both a comb (which is set aside) and a little booklet (which is laid open on the little table for the taking of notes).
Perching at the edge of the bed, she draws her pen from—well. With her hair unpinned there can be no illusion of having it tucked into the uptwist of it, though she thoughtlessly reaches behind her ear all the same. The pen simply manifests from nowhere at all into her hand - all of which is unimportant given any level of scrutiny seems presently directed at bon Ribbon.
The scratch of the nib on paper begins at once.]
My suspicion is that the form is in and of itself somehow magical. Manufactured, I mean, rather than that someone took a living snake and enchanted it to be not alive. Dissection might reveal one or two little things, but given how real she looks on the exterior I have no reason to believe her interior to be any different. Nevermind that it would be perfectly wasteful. The spellwork is quite delicate, and would likely come unwound.
[Belatedly:] And she is perfectly charming as she is, of course.
