She tilted her head at him, it was interesting... This was the first time she had seen something of his species, it spoke like the others but they weren't related, or atleast were very dissimilar. Yet it spoke just like them. she wondered if he had come to her for the same reason as so many, but still doubted it, he didn't smell right.
She was interested, and uncurled one of her 'arms' moving to a point that was halfway across the distance between them, pausing and waiting to make sure it would be ok for her to touch him. She was much better at doing things than talking.
"I do not understand." She hated saying that word so much but... It was something that she was taught to do, and sometimes it helped. So she did it when things didn't make sense. What mozer would probably find surprising is that this level of speech and thought was actually very much more advanced than they started out with, but no where near where most of them could reach with just a little bit of time and effort.

Mozer tilted his head at her hesitant movement in his direction, but he nodded when he understood her intent. He was fairly certain she wasn't going to eat him somehow, especially as she used photosynthesis. However, she still appeared to have large teeth and he didn't want to get on the wrong side of them.
"That's alright," he answered, head tilting slightly as he smiled at her again. "So. . . wot species are you?" He hoped that perhaps this was a little more clear than the last time he had asked.

She seemed rather pleased that he didn't withdraw when she offered out her arm, reaching out and gently touching his shoulder, then pulling it up along his neck and over his head before her 'roots' uncurled from the now empty puddle and moved her forward a little. It wasn't a hostile maneuver but it could easily be frightening, especially if someone was unsure just how close to those large teeth they wanted to be...
Species... That was... She had heard that before, but not often at all. Apparently everyone knew it or just rarely asked. 'what species is she?' that's what they asked... the answer was usually different, daffodil or Dionaea... Which was it? she could just tell him both, then he could decide on which one made sense. "I am Daffodil, Dionaea." she said after those several moments of silence.

The Scholar tilted his head the other way, glancing down at the 'root' when it touched his shoulder, but when it appeared she was only interested in touching his hide (( compared to ripping out his heart )), he turned his head back towards her. The nearer ear tended to twitch slightly, as though following the appendages progress, but the gryvern seemed determine to be trusting until shown otherwise.
Hrms. . . he was fairly certain 'daffodil' was the name of a flower of some kind. That had been in a book he'd read. He thought they might be yellow flowers and wondered if that's wot was bloomed on her. "Ah," he answered, none too wisely, but he seemed at ease in his ignorance. "Are you a plant or an animal?"

She pulled herself closer to him, and put her other vine like arm over him in a soft almost hug like manner. she didn't understand what the question was, plant and animal were very unfamiliar words and she couldn't put together anything that made sense and involved what he asked. "I do not understand." she said once more. she was getting very good at saying that word, she wondered why they relied on the sounds themselves, maybe because they were more... specialized?
If there was any sweat on the parts that came in contact with her, it'd be gone pretty much instantly... With her now pretty close proximity something pretty odd would become evident, her breath seemed to be fresher than the air that she inhaled. It also smelled slightly like perfume.

Both of Mozer's ears twitched back once in surprised and vague unease. Nevertheless, the rest of his frame stayed relaxed. "Okay," he concurred, uncertain really how to explain that question any better. So, on to another, more intimate one. "Wot are you doing?"
There was no sweat yet, but there might be if she kept on as she was. Nice smelling as her breath was, this was a bit. . . new. He couldn't help an inward laugh, however, still somehow amused by the situation, even as he was prepared to deal with it. Casimir had implied that there were Poisontails who would lure you close with one trick or another, seeming very innocent until they ripped your throat out. Mozer didn't really want to have a story like those.

Well, that was a normal reaction. Most things seemed that way at first, it wasn't that surprising to her she had been even more surprised by them the first few times that she had been in contact with those animals. 'What are you doing' She knew that one. it was one of the first ones she learned. "What do you want me to do?" she asked with a more natural sounding tone, because she actually knew what that one meant... It meant that she wanted them to tell her what was needed or wanted.
she leaned a bit closer and sniffed the side of his face, one of her teeth bumped against him and... Bent? it felt like it was made out of some sort of, well, it felt like it should be rigid like a normal tooth but instead was made out of leafs or a similar material atleast. Even stranger, they appeared to have tiny hairs on the inner edge (Visible because they stick out pretty far at some parts).

Rrriiiggghhtttt. This was getting even weirder by the minute. He actually did laugh out loud this time. Wasn't there something about bad movies involving women and tentacles? He was just very, very glad he wasn't female just then. "Well, I don't think it matters wot I want you to be doing when I'm more concerned about wot you are currently doing." At least the teeth weren't hard. . . . or wotever they were. He wasn't sure if he should change the subject or be insistent or wot exactly, but his comfort zone was definitely invaded.
"So, since this is getting a bit strange, perhaps you could just explain wot you are doing." There was still laughter in his voice.

Unfortunately she has no natural sense of personal space, and has no idea just how uncomfertable she is making the other creature. But laughing was something that meant that they were happy. Then he said something that sounded very complicated and she wasn't sure how to accomplish it. But she understood the last bit of what he said and he had just... Repeated himself? then he made alot more sounds that seemed familiar, but he couldn't figure out what he was trying to tell her what to do. So regretfully, she used those words again. "I do not understand." she said then tilted her head, to try and help show the fact that she didn't understand.
Well, even though she seemed rather strange she still didn't seem to be hostile at all, and just seemed to not really know what was going on more than going out of her way to make him uncomfortable... She should try to learn more of their noises so that they could understand.

Mozer gave another low laugh as he tried to figure out how to word this. "Well," he finally tried again. "Why are you touching me so much?" His tone was still highly amused despite the bluntness of the words. He didn't want to seem rude to the strange creature, however, he wasn't certain of a gentler way to question her movements other than wot he had already tried.

...Well, she understood parts of that, but not when they had all those other bits attached... But she was trying, maybe if she thought back long enough... Nope nothing. "I am sorry, I do not understand." she said with something that resembled a sigh exhaling slowly as she tilted her head back to it's normal angle.
What was wrong? had she forgotten something? not that she knew of not that she was very certain... Ah, maybe it was because this one was so different? And there was a different sort of way you were supposed to act to them. "You are... Soft, Mozer." she said before stroking his fur a little bit more.

Mozer blinked at the larger being for a moment, then gave another low, chuckle. She seemed intelligent, if swiftly lost. As long as this was just an enjoyment of soft things session, they were fine. "Thank you," he answered a bit wryly. He didn't actually do anything to make his hide the way it was.
"Do you like to feel things?" he asked in another attempt to find out why exactly she was so close.

Around now something else slightly odd might become apparent about the large plant like creature, so far... It had only blinked when it was attempting to think really hard about something, or to show how confused she was. "You are welcome." It was another word that was obviously just memorized.
"I like soft things, and sweet things." she said, then licked him... She didn't even have to move any closer, and actually it seemed like she could have done it from his arms length away, it was orange... and blue striped. "You are... Salty." she stated in a rather simple manner. Well, atleast he wasn't sweet physically enough for her to be interested in eating him, right?

Mozer blinked and couldn't help a quick shudder at the feeling. Not that the lick was -that- bad, it was just so entirely unexpected. He wondered if this was how Casimir felt sometimes. ^^;;
"Whoa, hey, now," he remarked, wondering why he was salty-tasting. Of course, how else would he taste? And that was the longest tongue he could ever recall seeing. EVER. "Wot do you eat again?" came the next question with a hint of chagrin in his voice.

Atleast casimir could understand the language of his companion, this creature seemed to only understand tidbits and even then didn't really know what they meant. whoa... she recognized that one, it was something along the lines of stop but not as serious. No licking then? Or maybe warning first. something like that.
'What do you eat again' she understood the first part, and the second part but together... Hmm... She hadn't answered the first bit at anytime before had she? maybe she hadn't heard him say it. "I eat bugs and animals." she said as she watched him... He was an animal, but she would never think of eating one that spoke like her other animals, Especially one so big, it'd be impossible for her to eat that much. Even if it would taste good, and she hadn't had animal meat for a long time.
