Wow just disregard everything about Mort why don't you Mr. snake. seems to have a lot of sass.

From what I am seeing, Mort has almost definitely messed around with an amulet before, eliciting this reaction from the snake.

For a moment Mort looked so happy, like his old wisdom was affirmed, he understands and has control in this world. And Noah looks like he's so tired that he's unable to care about anything, or is just very well trained.
