Work Text:
Logan sips at his hot chocolate and continues working on his logic puzzle. But there's a question in the back of his mind that bothers him. Are Deceit's scales actually smooth or are they keeled? He's been trying to figure out by just looking, but it's a little hard to do without the other Side noticing.
He looks over at Deceit, who's reading a book on the couch. He loves his sunning spot. The reptilian Side is reading Sorcerer's Stone. Logan thinks he can hear him humming Hedwig's Theme. He's not entirely sure, though.
Perhaps it would be easiest to just ask Deceit if his scales are smooth or not. Doing anything else would be rash and not logical. "Hey Deceit?" Logan says.
"Hm?" The other Side looks up at him. "What?"
"Are your scales smooth?"
"No," Deceit answers. "They're not Burmese python scales. Burmese pythons don't have smooth scales."
So he's part Burmese python, then? Interesting.
"So your scales are smooth?" Logan asks. Deceit nods. "Thank you."
"You're not welcome." Deceit returns to his book.
That answers that question then. Deceit's scales are, yes, smooth scales after all.
