You should really apologize. She already doesn't like you. [Yep, this is a huffy snake.]
[Meanwhile, Otacon points upthread because this is Metal Gear and what is a fourth wall.] I said I was traveling with Liquid. You're both about the same age, and it stands to reason you'd have the same name.
[Liquid crouches down, though the creature is practically his height already. It may be a deranged neon serpent-creature, but it is Hal's deranged neon serpent-creature.]
I am very sorry I called you a thing...Kotai.
[He looks sharply at Hal]
One of me? And Snake is going there too? [This is absolutely not jealousy.]
[THIS COBRA KNOWS SARCASM WHEN SHE HEARS IT. But fine. She won't eat you. This time.]
Looks that way, yeah. I'll probably be losing sleep trying to convince him not to run out of Ecruteak on his Gyarados hellbent on breaking Snake's spine.
...Again.
[can you just HEAR the '8|' in his voice, because he is so used to this shit by this point.]

Good...girl. The next fat, juicy rat I find is all yours.
[A fair number of those words are gibberish, but Liquid gets the gist.]
[grins] That's how we show affection.
[he claps Hal on the shoulder]
If he's close enough to you to give you his name, you might even be able to slow him down.
