Related to the snake thing.

[One hand rubs at the back of his neck and he huffs softly. There's some worry in his voice]

He seemed alright at first, then he got a bad headache, started getting dizzy and couldn't walk in a straight line. I suppose it was funny, at first.. it was like he was drunk. Then he was slurring his speech a bit and when he started throwing up mother took him to the hospital. Looks like he hit his head harder than we thought.
