*She would have wrinkled her nose, had she had one.*
"But what do they do? They don't look very fun to me."

*Julian looked hurt.*
"Princess...you shouldn't just by appearances. Things aren't always what they seem to be."
But then again...sometimes they are.

*His brow furrowed and he turned back to her with an eager smile.*
"Would you like to meet them?"

*Julian turned back to the hole, making a low, soothing purr in the back of his throat. Some of the tentacles shifted direction, growing longer as they approached the two of them. them a small squid-like body emerged after them. It floated towards them slowly, almost hesitantly. Julian was all smiles, holding his hand out to it.*

*Pina couldn't help herself. She squeaked, and dove behind Julian, peering out nervously from behind his legs. She didn't trust the creepy squid-thing at all.*

*Julian turned back to her with a small frown, whispering harshly.*
"Prosperpina, do not be afraid. You promised. They won't hurt you."
*One of the tentacles touched Julian's hand.*

"Okay. Sorry."

"It's all right..."
*Julian knelt next to her, the spectral being following hesitantly. It offered a tentacle cautiously.*

*She held her hand out nervously. She would really rather be anywhere else but here, but she knew Julian wouldn't let it hurt her.*

*The tentacle touched her gently, like a cold breeze on her skin. Julian watched with a curious half smile.*

*She flinched involuntarily at its touch, but otherwise stood absolutely still.*

*The being prodded her slowly, studying her with a cold curiosity. Something it shared with Julian. He smiled.*
"See? I told you I would not let it hurt you. They are just curious about you."

*She nodded stiffly, regaining her calm a little.*
"Okay."
