Uala was not completely inexperienced when it came to the matter of confused alien specimens. Usually, however, they were small and kind of dopey and the worst that they did was behaved a little inappropriately with toys. They weren't people, vaguely person-shaped people that might or might not be turning mating colors. And trying to push xem away.
When he covered himself with the towel, that only made xem more mortified, seeming to confirm all xyr worst fears. "Ah, ye," xe said again, as dark blue freckles bloomed over xyr face. «I won't hurt you! I promise!» Xyr sing-song words were going to a high g of distress.
Insofar as Uala had ideas about attractiveness, they were rooted almost entirely in things like depth of color and toughness of skin and purity of tone and strength and length of limb. As xyr people did not possess hips, xe was completely unaware that xyr attempts to look nonthreatening were making xem look… hippy. Curvy was just a side-effect of short. Two of xyr tentacles curled by xyr face, a fairly universal gesture for 'I am definitely not blushing underneath these'. The other two twisted behind xyr back, trying to show that xe wasn't trying to touch him. Or rip anything off of him.
Because Roan was people-shaped, it did not occur to Uala that his mating process might not involve that kind of thing.
Even more unfortunately for Roan, there had been a very minor and usually harmless miscommunication between the two of them. This was: Uala did not understand the important distinction between 'okay' and 'good'. As far as xe was concerned, the noise he made for 'okay' was the one he used when xe would sing 'aiai'.
Which was a problem.
Because, even for an alien, there was a very big difference between pointing to his genitals and saying 'Roan okay'…
… and pointing to his genitals and saying 'Roan good'.
All xyr cephalic tentacles curled tight, chirping a nervous giggle. Dark blue freckles spread further along xyr tentacles and down to xyr neck. One cephalic tentacle went to xyr mouth, and xe sucked on it nervously, a gesture much like a human nibbling their fingernails. «I'm not really sure what you want me to do with that information!»
