*Julian quirked his brow.*
"More teeth?"
*He'd never seen a shark so there wasn't much basis for comparison. He shrugged and nodded.*
"I don't see why not. Though I might need to take care."

Izame hummed, thinking.
"Not teeth...but...rough like sandy stone? Not hurt Pretty hands, but not nice soft f' touch like now."
It gave a breathless yawn and settled again.
"Shark like pets, Pretty. Is good. Can sleep now? Pretty too."

*Julian nodded, finally understanding.*
"Then sleep. I will wait here with you."
*He smiled gently, smoothing his hand softly over the creature's skin as if to lull it to sleep.*

"Pretty sleep too, makes waiting time less for Care care Erik, yes?"
It gave its purring clicks and pulled its arms from around Julian to curl them up on his chest, under its own snout.

*He shut his eyes with a sad smile.*
"I don't. But...it is all right. You sleep and I will stay."
*He wrapped one arm around the sharkman and placed the other upon the back of it's head, his fingers stroking its skin.*

The creature was soon sleep, heavy and limp and unmoving against he spectral man, exhausted from the excitement of the day. It did give the occasional twitch, perhaps dreaming of chasing fish or burying apples or performing amusing tricks for little boys in masks.
((Now might be a good time for Julian to tuck him in and sneakily work on Mecha-R XD))

((Nah, he promised. He'll just do it later.))
*Julian stayed as he said he would, hand on the creature's back as it slept. He was quiet and unmoving, but his mind was turning, calculating...preparing.*

It seemed like ridiculously long hours before the thing woke again, and it stretched and chirped and flopped around on Julian's lap, sliding over him and slipping down onto the floor with a trill, suddenly energized and excitedly scrambling after a rat that had come into the room, crouched low and chasing the little vermin around and under he bed.

*Julian's brow arched in surprise at the sudden change and he stood effortlessly, not strained from sitting indefinitely. He bent to look under the bed.*
"Are you all right?"

The sharkman clicked and wriggled out from under the bed backwards, then crouched on the floor with its hands clasped together in front of it.
"Catch naked-tail!" it said excitedly, diving its hands a shake and eliciting a squeek from the rat trapped there.
Izame grinned and lifted its hands up to one of its eyes, spreading its fingers a bit so that the pest was visible through the webbing of its hand.
"Not good eat, though. Should drown?"

"No!" *Julian snapped, pulling the rat from the sharkman's hands. He pet it's furry head, calming it and himself.*
"These are protected here. They are my companions."

The creature chirpped and sat up a bit, tilting its head.
"Pretty likes naked-tail f' pets? Okay, shark not kill...but little things mean."

"They're not my pets...they are my friends." *Julian's expression softened as he smiled at the rat he held.*
"And they are only mean when they are threatened."
*His attention shifted to Izame as the rat scurried up his shoulder.*
"What did they ever do to you?"
*His passion had cooled as had his anger.*

It puckered up its mouth as well as it could and its brows dipped down in a pout.
"They make droppings on dead-faces." He explained, referring to the fact that the rats scurried around his collection of skulls.

*Julian understood then. He nodded, touching the creature's shoulder.*
"I am sure they did not know the value you place on them. I will speak to them and have them avoid your collection. Fair enough?"
*He smiled gently.*
