*Julian thought one this. Erik did have a thing for pretty boys and girls, much to his chagrin, but there was always hope.*
"I am not afraid."
*His smile grew.*

It's eyes flickered a bit as it processed this, suppose it were true. Julian had, after all, witnessed the rather violent transformation, and had helped the creature through it.
"Yes. Pretty Care very nice. Thank thank." It sniffed at him and snuggled up against his leg, holding up the apple.
"Pretty like apple?"

Not really.
*Julian wasn't sure that he'd ever eaten. He seemed to remember something about it, so it would probably work all right.*
"Perhaps we might share?"
*He pulled a knife from his boot and cut into the flesh of the fruit.*

Izame sat up a bit in the bed, brightening somewhat, and tucked itself against Julian's side, it's long head level with the man's chest.
"Shark like share." It nodded eagerly and held out its hand for its half, taking the tiniest nibbling bites to make the rather small bit of fruit last.

*It was strange, that was certain. Julian carefully cut the fruit, portioning it between them. He nibbled at it, noting the texture but gradually more slices went to the sharkman.*
"We can always find another, if you are still hungry."

"Hungry?" It tilted its head curiously and rested its snout on Julian's chest looking up at him, not quite understanding the concept.

*Julian shook his head.*
"No, I'm not. Thank you."
*He offered the rest to Izame, core and all.*

"Pretty not? Not hungry? What is?"
It took the remainder of the apple anyway and pushed it into its maw, chewing a bit.
"Pretty Care not like apples?"

*He wasn't sure if he did or not. There wasn't a lot to compare it to. He just smiled gently.*
"You just seem to like them more. I do not mind."

"Oh."
The creature clicked, thinking a bit, and resettled on Julian's chest, clawed hand curled up under its snout, looking like a pleased pet.
"What does Pretty Care like? Fish? Chocolate?"

"Maybe." *Julian answered with a shrug.*
"I don't...normally eat much of anything."

"Yes? But...not thin thin like Erik."
It's brows, such as it now had, pulled downward a bit and its wide mouth narrowed a touch.
"Pretty Julian like shark? Not eat-live? But...shark likes eat--apples, fish, chocolate. Julian tries, should like too. Is good eat eat."
The little sharkman lifted its head from Julian's chest and lolled its long, somewhat pointed tongue out at him.
"Tathteh boke?"

*It was coming easier now, perhaps the common sounds were starting to form patterns, even as broken as they were.*
"Perhaps I shall try them. But no, I don't need to eat. At least, not that I know of."
*He swallowed carefully, Erik still a tender subject.*
"My shape...I don't know why it is as it is. Maybe I am just as Erik would have chosen, or I might be a blending of him and Nadir."

It sucked its tongue back into its mouth with a slurp and put its head down again, rolling a bit to one side so that its elongated head lay upside down, hanging over Julian's shoulder, it's light form across his chest as it looked at the floor.
"Nadir? If Care care chooses babies look-face, why not make look like Erik more--dead-face?"

"I don't know that he did."
*Julian's lips tightened. He loved Erik's true face, but his mother...did not.*
"I don't think he prefers that I should look like his true face."
*He shook away the pain.*
"And Nadir is my father, so perhaps I have gained some traits from him."
