Oh, this was bad. This was SO bad and was probably going to rack him up more demerits than any Protector had ever garnered in the history of the Agency. He was far more concerned with the sudden tumble that must have seemed like an attack than the manner in which xe had landed, seemingly a little angry and a little stunned.
"I'm SO sorry," he sputtered, trying to hold still as xe suddenly recovered and reared back, floundering around him and trying to right xyrself. "I didn't realize it would...I was just trying to...if I'd known..." Many things would have been done differently. Yes, he would've pushed the button to get away. But he certainly wouldn't have been leaning into the resistance at the same time, or else caught himself, maybe, and stopped himself from moving so quickly and startling xem.
Because he had, hadn't he? Xe had been keeping him from moving because xe didn't feel safe around him, and then Roan had done something that'd come off terrifying and aggressive and all xe was doing was being curious. After the initial shock, now xe was flailing like mad and ripping apart xyr tentacle plastic. The shrieking noises and color changes were so far from the calm examination he'd faced to date that Roan wasn't immediately certain what he should do. He only knew he had to fix it, because it was keenly obvious xe hadn't meant him any harm. Probably his cuffs would all be turned back on in a hurry and he wouldn't be surprised--if he didn't fix this now--were he shoved right back in the pod for xyr own protection. Which would be infinitely worse than merely being cuffed. And sans food, too. He had to make xem understand. In the end he shifted to sitting, then pushed his palms against the cold floor to get to his feet. Slowly, he approached, stepping around discarded and tangled plastic, and reached out to touch a quivering tentacle.
"Hey," he said quietly, trying not to startle xem further. Intergalactic incident was flashing in great neon letters on the inside of his skull. Novae but he had to make this better. "Hey, I'm sorry. It's okay. I wasn't attacking you, I swear...it was an accident...that could have gone better."
He curved his fingers around a tentacle covering xyr eyes. "Uala?"
He thought he might have gotten the pitches spot on that time, but was too worried about having broken his host to be very cheered by success this time. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
