Xyr upper body stretched out a bit as xe looked down to where he was gesturing. «Oh, no, I'm not turning those off yet,» xe said, misunderstanding. «You've been very good, so far, but I think all your important organs are up here.» Not that xe'd know for sure until xe could get more in-depth, but xe'd have to wait on that. Once xe'd convinced him he was safe, then xe could go bringing out the needles. Wouldn't want a misunderstanding.
Quite pleased that he'd started eating in earnest, one of the longer tentacles on the back of xyr head uncoiled. «This isn't going to be very sanitary,» xe admitted, before gently pressing a sensitive sucker against the skin of his shoulder. Again xe flushed green, with a little orange at the tip of the tendril touching him. «You smell terrible,» xe informed him with some dismay. That wasn't the point of what xe was doing, but xe thought xe ought to let him know. Even if he had no idea what xe was saying. «Didn't they bathe you? Is this normal for you?»
Unfortunately for Roan, the concept of sweating was foreign to xem, and he had no real way to defend himself. Fortunately for Roan, he did not actually understand exactly how much xe was talking to xyrself.
Xe pulled the tentacle away and tried closer to his neck, and then lower on his chest, until xe found the source of his pulse. «There's a heart!» xe said, triumphant. Xe tried lower, but only found more gurgling noises. Doing the same thing along his spine only found the same source as before. «Do you… only have one?» Uala was appalled. «But you're so big! That can't be enough.» Xe buzzed, because clearly xe wasn't going to be able to determine anything useful from a basic physical. Xe stretched out a tentacle to grab a small towel from the cart, scrubbing furiously at the tentacle that had touched him.
Xe chirped abruptly in surprised laughter as he said something that sounded less like xyr name and more like sad crab. Xe didn't want to discourage him, so a tentacle covered xyr mouth. The next attempt was closer, but was actually the name of the fruit he was holding. What a terrible mistake that would be. Not that he was likely to ever talk to anyone. He did manage to get it right, but only after baring his teeth again. Maybe that meant something different than xe thought?
Xe was taken aback as he thumped his chest, and immediately xe took his hand in two tentacles to put a stop to it, patting his chest gently as if that would make it better. He only had one heart! What if it was delicate! Dangerous! Now he was trying to say something in return, though, and it seemed to start with… growling? So much growling! No wonder the interns thought he was dangerous. He was a muscle man from angry planet. "Own," xe tried in a b-note, which xe could already tell was wrong. "Loan," was xyr second attempt, and that almost startled xem. "Lohn?" Xe buzzed. «If your name is Intern I am going to be very upset.» That did give xem an idea. Xe tried starting his name by buzzing instead of actually making a sound with xyr mouth, and that seemed much closer. "Roan," xe sang, and the buzzing made it sound like xe was rolling the R.
«You can definitely talk, then.» Xe hesitated. «I don't actually know what to do with this information. I've never had a talking specimen before. This is actually kind of really awkward?» Xe looked down at the tray of offered food, then tilted xyr head further, down to where he'd gestured before. "Ah. Ah!" Xe pinged in surprise as the tentacles beneath xem uncurled and slid down the pod, the rest of xem following to sit on the floor. Distracted by new information, xe'd left the remote beside the scanner where xe was no longer sitting. «I see what you meant, now! Oh, I can't believe I missed it.» Xe pulled the hem of one pant leg higher, tilting xyr head to the side. «You're wearing clothes! I just thought you were… I don't know! These were the least weird looking part of you. You've got separate bits for each leg! You weren't supposed to be wearing things. Did those interns do anything?»
Gloved tentacles slid up and around his legs, but didn't make it far – they weren't that long, after all. «But why are these your only clothes? They're just your legs.» Xe rose a little higher, attempting to navigate around his limbs and his tray to slide a tentacle into his waistband. Xe tugged at it experimentally, surprised when it stretched. «How does it do that! Mine doesn't do that!» Xe pinged again, surely a familiar sound by now. «Is this where your other heart is? I knew you couldn't have just one!»
Fortunately for the both of them, the tentacle attempting to explore what exactly was going on under his pants was a gloved one.
