Just like many females, He He hated snakes and wanted nothing more than to get as far as physically possible from them. Her best friend was full of nothing but hatred for them too. If she were to ever gift them a pendant that had a carving of a snake on it, their friendship would be as good as over.
But all of the Cleopatra merchandise that they sold had cobras. They might be slightly different in style and pattern, but they were all full of life. There was no way that He He would be buying these, unless she was looking for a good dressing-down.
She could only buy Nefertari and Nefertiti's pendants then. The two of them didn't have snakes on their portraits, but they definitely were way too unknown in China…
"Isn't there a Cleopatra pendant without snakes?" she asked timidly.
