(Valspan isn't big,  but he can stretch to accommodate. He's strong and expansive enough to eat a hippo)<br/><br/>From her vantage slightly above him,  she'd see his 'lips' curling a little,  "I know you." He stated cryptically.  "Hmmm you're so much like I was....a little fluffier, I think? Very well,  I shall assist in whatever operations you require.  I love walking everywhere,  but travelling within a vehicle is certainly much faster than aimlessly drifting at sea." A full twenty of his vines, one half of them,  swirled and tangled around themselves as they surged up her arm almost all the way to her shoulder.  They 'shook' her hand,  apparently understanding the gesture very easily.  what they did after though was begin to pull her closer,  the vines spreading out from just her arm and enwrapping more and more of her body by the second.  If nothing was done,  she'd be so completely wrapped in vines she wouldn't even be visible from the outside. He didn't seem to even look towards any male members of the group,  but his vines were always creeping closer to any nearby females,  threatening to wrap around their limbs should they allow the green tendrils too close.  The exception was SarAl,  who he had already tasted and dismissed for her mechanical taste.<br/><br/>"Mmm, such a mix of flavours.  You're fiery,  strong willed,  intelligent and steeped in the power of the great one who accompanies you.  Still, arrogant, angry,  with a touch of... Self loathing?  No that's probably the salt water you've practically got in your blood.  You're above average,  easily,  but not as sweet as you could be."  He assessed her between whatever struggles she might offer.  His vines were gentle,  but they were as forceful as living metal and twice as sturdy.
