A primal chill ran down his spine at the sight of all those teeth. It was a common reaction to aliens that looked--and probably were--particularly predatory. Some things were hardwired into the human psyche, and he was, at his core, a very rich, sheltered young boy who'd thrown himself into questionable modeling and then mercenary work... relatively recently, in the grand scheme of things. He was good at it, of course, but... Still. There were some things in the universe that made him wish he still employed bodyguards, instead of working as one.
This sensation was not improved in the least by the thing it did with its tail, almost flaring and just showing off how large and terrible and big enough to digest the average human it looked.
Was this a prank people played on tourists? Sending them to the bar frequented by the giant terrifying snake-alien? Because Kari wasn't laughing, but it also sounded exactly like something he would do. It clearly knew the the adorable little bartender. It was a regular. Hell, maybe it was the manager. Wouldn't that be a holy terror. Space: where predators from your nightmares come to manage bars.
Oh. He was being addressed. He'd sort of lost his window for politely scrambling, or even not-politely scrambling, huh. He'd been too busy staring. It was probably rude to stare. He was still staring. "Hi," he replied, sounding mildly dazed. He should say something less insipid, something polite to make up for the way he was staring like he'd never seen a infinitely long snake-person dangling from a bar ceiling before. He hadn't, but. Still. "Do you... come here often?"
...Something that didn't make it sound like he was using a shitty pick-up line on a snake ten times his size.
