[b][i]His hand reaches out for her. Trying to make sure that she would be okay with him petting as it hovers next to her.[/i][/b]
"So why did you come through the hole?"

-
*Dalien "Curious... What this place?" *She asks, looking around. She was a little smaller than a medium sized dog, about three feet long and about a foot and a half tall. She seemed dangerously skinny though.* *Dalien "Hoped have food..."
-
[b][i]He pets her head gently as he looks around. He could understand curiosity. Eyeing her figure he frowned a little as he looks at her getting up.[/i][/b] "Come with me I'll get you some food. On one condition okay? You don't hurt the cat there."
-
*Dalien "Don't eat cat. Eat ant. And white ant." *She says, looking up at him with a both curious and hopeful expression.* *Dalien "Have ant?"
-
[b][i]He keeps gently petting her as he makes a whistle with his mouth as if to say follow. He begins walking towards a pet store as he looks back at her waiting.[/i][/b] "I know where we can get some ants."
-
*She excitedly trots after him.* *Dalien "Have not eat four days. Try eat tail but hurt." *She seemed rather strange. An animal native to earth living on Tatakai. Not only that, but she could talk, had a name, and he starts to notice that occasionally extremely faint orange tendrils of what he can only assume is some sort of strange energy extend from her and then disappear.*
-
[b][i]He walks with her to a store as he looks back opening it up. Walking over to the counter and pointing at the ants.[/i][/b] "I'll take a whole bunch of those." [b][i]He says as he pays the cashier grabbing a big bag of ants and setting it down for her outside. The top open so she can get into it.[/i][/b] "It's all yours."
-
*Dalien "Can get ant from human box?!" *She asks before sticking her head into the bag and quickly clearing out all the ants. She lifts her had back up, startled to find that it is still on her head.* *Dalien "It eat me!!! Help!!!" *She starts trying to shake it off, backing up into the wall of the store and falling over.*
-
[b][i]He takes the bag off her head. Putting it on the ground as he pets her trying to calm her down. Making shushing noises gently and softly.[/i][/b] "Shh it's gonna be okay. Shhh nothing's trying to eat you." [b][i]He looks over the creature as if to see if it's still hungry. A smile on his face as he does so.[/i][/b] "So do you want more ants?"
-
*Dalien "M-More... No head eat thing..."
-
[b][i]He smiles and goes back inside getting out another bag. Placing a bowl down as he pours the bags contents into it. Sitting down as he waits for her to eat or ask for more.[/i][/b] "Does this work better?"
-
*She hungrily eats up all the ants, starting to look better* *Dalien "Y-Yes."
-
[b][i]He pours more into the bowl as he pets her. Making sure that she would be okay with eating so much.[/i][/b] "Hey do you have a place to sleep at all?"
-
*She finishes off the rest of the ants.* *Dalien "No... No home..."
-
[b][i]He pats her head as he begins to bring her close. His body pressed against the small creature as if to symbolize protection.[/i][/b] "Well I live with someone maybe you can come live with us?"
-
*She lets out a panicked squeak and wiggles out of his arms.*
-
[b][i]He looks sad as he realizes he scared her. Petting her as he looks into her eyes letting out a shhh noise.[/i][/b] "Hey it's okay...it's okay I just wanted to keep you warm."
-
*Dalien "O-O-Okay..." *She still trembles a little but starts seeming calmer.* *Dalien "Where home?"
-
[b][i]He points over to an apartment building in the distance. Looking at her as he continues petting her.[/i][/b] "My home is over there. Would you like to live there? We can supply ants."
-
*Dalien "Not know... That human box..."
-
[b][i]He thinks of how to word it for a moment as he places his hand on her head shaking it gently.[/i][/b] "Yes it is a human box, it can provide you with warmth, food, shelter, and protection from whatever you need."
-
*Dalien "Take there?"
-
[b][i]He leads her to the apartment building and up he stairs as he unlocks the door opening it. Looking at her with a smile as he pets her. [/i][/b] "Okay two rules, one no bathroom in the house tap the door if you need to go out. Two be nice to everyone here okay?" [b][i]He moves aside showing her the room As he smiles at her.[/i][/b]
-
*She steps in timidly, looking around and sniffing.*
-
[b][i]He pets her gently as he lets her get used to the area. Sitting on the couch happily as he waits for her to inspect.[/i][/b]
-
*She moves around the room, sniffing everything. You hear a yawn come from the bedroom as Sapphire gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom.*
