"Pretty can speak to?"
It asked, curiously, and leaned up, sticking its snout at the little thing on Julian's shoulder and sniffing at it.
"What say?"

"Now?" *Julian questioned, surprised by the curiosity.*
"He is merely concerned that you still wish him harm. Their needs and thoughts are simple, they only wish for safety for themselves and their families, with food and shelter."
*He lifted his finger to the rat, which sniffed it eagerly, its whiskers dancing.*

"But...shark said, won't eat, won't drown...."
It sounded a bit hurt and rested the tip of its snout on Julian's shoulder, just before the rat.
"What is called, naked-tail?"

*Julian shrugged.*
"They don't have names the way that we do. And it takes them some time to understand such things when their hearts are beating so quickly. It is nothing against you personally."

Izame hadn't meant a name, of course, those things mattered little to him as well.
"No...What is called all of naked-tails? Like fish, apple, chocolate, people, sharks?"

"Oh." *Julian sometimes forgot that one as old as Izame might still have things to learn.*
"Forgive me. Humans call them 'rats'. But 'naked-tails' is descriptive enough."

"Rrrats." It tried, and sniffed at the little creature again, speaking to it.
"Is good, can be friends?"
It poked its snout softly at the rat's nose and blinked at it.

*There was a quiet moment, Julian just looking at the rat then shutting his eyes and nodding with a small smile. The creature shifted its attention to the sharkman, nose ceaselessly twitching as it inched towards the larger being. Carefully, it rested its front paws on Izame's nose.*

The sharkman twitched its nose a bit and clicked softly at the tickle, but otherwise held still.
"Can climb on! Lots of room on new nose."

*Tiny feet scurried carefully over the smooth skin of his nose, pausing briefly to sniff here and there as Julian's smile grew eerily.*
"Better?"

"Is good. Hello, rat!"
It grinned, crossing its eyes to try and see the thing perched on its snout.
"Like apple, fish, chocolate?"

"I assume so. In that it is named, yes."
*On second thought, Julian wasn't sure that was what the sharkman had meant. He quirked his head.*
"That is what you mean, correct?"

It shook its head--slowly, careful not to dislodge its new friend.
"Rat like apple, fish, chocolate? Like shark for chew chew. Is good? Rat is like shark, or is like person between legs?"
It didn't want to go prodding around down there, in case the poor little rat had something to prod, but it hoped there was some creature on the earth that was like it in that way.

*Julian frowned, trying to understand.*
"As in, can it breed?"
*He arched his brow, following the logic.*
"It is a male, if that is the question, and they reproduce sexually."

"Oh." It churred somewhat...forlorned and raised its hand up to its snout to take the rat into it.
"All alone. Rat go find more rats now, is good."
The creature lowered the little slick fur vermin to the floor and let it run off.
