That’s pretty cute!
Mallek would of course not be extremely possessive of his matesprit, but would prevent other folks from trying to actually get the MC as their own. He’d playfully bring them to his body if he saw someone trying to be flirty with them. Along with a quiet hiss and his long snake tail wrapping around their legs. When the possible “lover” has already gone, he gives the MC a loving lick to the cheek.
