"Ooooooh!" It trilled and wriggled, nudging the spectral man unintentionally in the sternum with its dorsal fin.
"Nadir lives with Care care too? Where is? Shark like see Care care love!"
It flipped over again, draped on its stomach across Julian's body, its arms dangling over to the floor, where it traced patters in the dust there, just at the very edge of the bed.

*It was rather...floppy. Julian frowned for a moment.*
"Nadir does not reside here. He rushes to acknowledge that I am his son. But it is all right, I believe that his other daughter does. The other mother of his other child, a woman named Megan, no longer lives here either. She is marrying another man."
((He doesn't know about the one by Raoula.))

((Gotcha))
That was all very confusing, so it said nothing for a few moments, continuing to trace patterns.
"Care care Erik...would make masks for shark? Pretty think? Yesno?"

*Julian tilted his head curiously, relieved by the change of subject.*
"A mask? I don't see why not. What do you want it to look like?"

The little monster clicked something that sounded like an auditory shrug.
"Pretty man-face."

"Oh."
*Julian swallowed, his eyes growing shrewder. He wondered if there was any way at all to get the beast to pass. He could try...but even reconstructing Pina's nose had pained him terribly. There was little chance of rebuilding a whole body.*
"We'll have to see. I don't know what he can do."

"Could be dead-face...but...Care care covers dead-face. Know why, yes. Know why Care care lives down down down."
It lifted its upper body from where it hung half over the bed and flopped over onto its side on Julian's legs, giving a sort of squeek when it tweaked its unfamiliar dorsal fin a little.
"Pretty Care Julian has love too? Make babies?"

"No." *He answered flatly.* "But yes."
*He shook his head, having answered too quickly to be understood.*
"I have no children. And no love but Erik."

"Oh."
The creature poked at the top of Julian's boot with a claw, then turned over and pushed back up the mattress, settling against him again.
"Will carefor Pretty until Care care home. Is good? Watch come-go, break boat, drag down down down until no-breath. Keep safe Julian, Erik, little naked-tail monkeys, Gran-t-arr."

*Julian smiled then, a foreign tenderness in the gesture.*
"That sounds just fine. Thank you, Izame."

"Yes. But...can stay in house with Pretty too? Make lookings many many, but come back inside?"
It pushed its snout against Julian's neck, its nostrils cold and slightly wet, the underside of its head white and smooth and soft, though now its skin was completely dry and the upper parts of its body were velvety where they would roughen up in the upcoming days.

"Of course." *Julian answered without thinking.*
"Wherever you would be most comfortable."
*His hand lifted, smoothing over the soft skin, wondering if there would be any other changes to it. It seemed logical that it was new and therefore would grow over time, but...he never did.*

Izame gave a series of mid-range rapid clicks and nuzzled closer, lettings its round, dark eyes close, pale, rarely used lids sliding over them. It responded by kneading its own claws at Julian's chest and side like purring cat.

*Julian's body tensed for a moment as it clawed at him, but as a rhythm settled, he grew more relaxed, stroking the creatures head soothingly.*
"What do you look for?" *He queried idly.*

It blinked its eyes open, it's clicks and claws ceasing, and lifted its head.
"Don't know. Red."
