Well, at least he's honest but that's not reassuring! Popp can proudly do something about the unarmed part - he reaches into his pockets and zips down to hand over a pair of glittering green stones. Aero is familiar, Ruinra is an upgrade.

"How about with these? Ruin's stronger than before, it should be able to leave a pretty big hole in something."

The buzzing deflates his confidence a little.

"Do snakes... normally sound like that? They hiss, right?"

Popp, for all his foolishness, is not inclined to shove his face blindly into something that could be bees, either, or possibly some sort of robotic snake. He parts the grass with caution. Yep, that's a snake! It's doing the tongue thing, and might have four eyes? (those are heat pits, he's not a herpetologist).

"...Well, it's not as big as a tree. Not that scary at all, really!"
