Xe chirped a giggle as he pointed out that the scalpel was, in fact, not fluffy. He wasn't wrong, anyway. Xe was getting a better sense for that baring of teeth, those peculiar barking sounds he sometimes made. Xe had a suspicion that he was laughing. Expressing amusement and pleasure with the shapes of his face, rather than his colors.
Trying to follow his logic could still be difficult. "Roan no kenah," xe said, though uncertainly. In part because xe wasn't sure if he was asking, and in part because xe didn't know. He didn't seem dangerous to xem. His display in pointing to random objects and declaring them dangerous did not help matters. "No kenah, a'ish," xe countered when he pointed to another scanner, because letting him believe those were dangerous seemed dangerous in and of itself.
Uala didn't understand the gesture when he offered xem his hand. Xe did not accept as he'd intended, instead wrapping tentacles around his wrist to turn it this way and that, looking at it in mild confusion as xe rose higher. Two tentacles still remained holding the much-abused stuffed toy. «What's wrong with your hand?» xe asked. «Is there something you wanted me to see? I'm sorry, Roan, I just don't understand you sometimes. It looks fine to me, but I don't really know.» Xe stood in the manner of an inflating balloon, tentacles drawing in closer and pulling upright. Then xe deflated again when xe realized xe'd made xyrself taller than him, going back to a more agreeable and full-figured height. «Oh! Maybe you were asking for your friend back? You seem to like it a lot. I don't blame you, either.» Xe carefully set the toy back in his hand.
He looked so sad when xe scolded him that xe almost regretted it. "A la u'a – Roan no weh. Okay Roan." Xe attempted to push his shoulders back to where they seemed to belong. How did he bend so much with so many bones? It all seemed horribly uncomfortable. When xe drew xyr tentacles away, it was with yet more confusion. Xe looked at xyr tentacles where xe had touched him. "Aiae?" No, what was that horrible word he'd used? Not being able to make that sound was going to be a problem. Xe was going to have to improvise a solution. "Wa-click-er?" Xe looked closer at his skin, getting what was probably uncomfortably close to his shoulder and then his face. Xe poked curiously at his forehead. «How did you get wet?»
Unless…
"Wa-click-er?" xe asked again, this time slower and with a hint of suspicion, flushing pale green around xyr eyes. «Oh, Roan, please tell me you're not excreting something. If this is supposed to teach me a lesson about touching specimens without my gloves, there are better ways.» With a buzz of resignation, xe rubbed xyr tentacles on xyr clothes to try and get them something like clean.
Xe looked down the hall toward xyr other rooms, then back to the door. "No Roan," xe agreed, though thoughtfully. "Pha… Roan phe Uala… okay?" Xe stressed 'and Uala', unsure if that would help. "Roan phe Uala okay." Xe gestured to the both of them as well as the hallway, hoping that this time he would understand xem a bit better.
