The question, however, just makes him laugh. 'You never heard of shapeshifting, mate? Though the snake'ssss in my blood, ssso to ssspeak.' He purposefully accentuates the hiss, baring his teeth to flash Spike a flicker of his forked tongue. 'I appreciate the recognition, though, gotta say. Seems so many people these days've forgotten all about Nagas. Bloody blow to the ego, that.'

He grins again, unable to quite resist it.
