Gary
*He puts his hands together and looks at her, his expression becoming serious instantly*
"So your tentacles seem to move on their own. Do they have their own mind or are they controlled by your subconscious similar to a beastkin's tail or my wings?"
Lawrence
"Well— they're controlled by my subconscious. It's a bit hard since they're always moving though" She smiled at him, taking off the cloth that covered her tentacle hair
Gary
*He casually gets up, pulls out a glove from one of his pockets, puts it on and then proceeds to poke one of the tentacles*
Lawrence
She watched as he slipped on the glove with a flight frown, confused at the fact he even had gloves and watched, seeing as when he poked the tentacle the tentacle twitched back and turned to him, wriggling a bit

"You know they.. They won't harm you" She chuckled
Gary
"Oh thats not the problem in the slightest. Wounds can heal quite easily" *He pinches the tentacle and inspects it from different sides, eyes narrowed*
Lawrence
She yelped, bapping his hand ever so slightly since she did actually feel the pinch, the tentacle writhing agaisnt his hold
Gary
*He reflexively let go and snatched his hand back, a brief expression of disgust flicking across his face before immediately turning into him just narrowing his eyes at her*

*He clears his throat and his face returns to blank*
"Sorry. I should have asked before touching"
Lawrence
She frowns and just looked at her tentacle before looking back at him, then chuckled "Never felt a tentacle before??" She seemed a bit amused
Gary
"Oh no I have. I was merely curious about the patterns and whether you're poisonous or venomous"

*He takes off his glove and stuffs it in a different pocket. Which will absolutely not be a problem later on*
Lawrence
"Oh— oh ok— I'm not poisonous no" She hummed out, one of her tentacles, the same one he poked was reaching out towards him as well as two more
Gary
*He doesn't dare move closer to her, just watching the tentacles with a mixture of curiosity and... Something*
"And venomous?"
Lawrence
She shook her head, chuckling again "No.. I'm not poisonous or Venomous.." She smiled at him
Gary
"Hm.. Do your species come in different colours as well? And what about different types of aquatic life?"

*He takes out his pen and messy note book and flips over to the page where he stopped writing about her last time*
