*Julian's brow furrowed at her discomfort and he cooed gently. The being immediately shifted it attention, latching itself to Julian's arm, digging its tentacles under his skin. He just smiled.*

*Pina let out a small squeak, and her hands flew to her mouth.*
"What is it doing?!"

*Julian considered the question.*
"It's...well, it's hard to explain. It's like...giving affection. And hey, it's so much better than rats."

((*Chokes on her tea* *Gigglesnort*))
"Oh..."
*Her face was still screwed up in a look of distaste. Though she wasn't scared anymore, really. They were just so weird.*

*Julian arched a brow.*
"What, princess? Not what you were hoping for on our great adventure?"

"Oh, no," *she said, embarrassed now. She hadn't meant to be rude.*
"It's just- They're just- I never saw anything like that before."

*Julian smiled as the being squirmed back to the hole.*
"No one has. That's why they have to be our secret."

*She nodded. This was certainly something she wouldn't want to tell anyone. It was just too strange.*
"I promise."
*She relaxed much more, once the thing was out of sight, but now looked embarrassed.*
"I'm sorry I was scared. I know I promised I wouldn't be..."

*Julian sat on the dirt next to her, his back to the hole. He opened his arms to her.*
"Come now, my sweet. I just want you to be happy."

*She gave a small smile and went to his arms, comforted by his embrace.*
"I know- Did I upset... your friend?"

"No! Of course not."
*Julian held her close.*
"They are just nervous around...real people."

*She nodded. She understood that completely- it made her nervous too.*
"'Cause no one else ever comes this far down here?"

"Something like that."
*Julian sighed.*
Or because I was never as human as you are.
"What can I do to improve your spirits, princess?"

*She frowned, realizing how cold it was down there. In her nervousness, she hadn't noticed.*
"Maybe we could go back up?"

*Julian scooped her up as he stood.*
"Of course we can."
*He looked her over.*
"Are you cold?"
