Oh, great. Out of one situation, right in another. I guess after it hit the whirlpool, the ship was completely torn to shreds, if it attracted not only the Charybdis, but THIS, of all creatures. The white tentacles leave no question, this was a Kraken. Granted, she was a lot less fearsome as I expected... ...

No matter. She was blocking me from dry land, and I had no intention of letting her drag me under with those dense-as-a-rock sailors. I unsheath my knife and show her I meant business. However, her reaction almost knocked me for a loop--

"Goodness! Why are you threatening me with that?"

Her voice was soft and serene, with a touch of melancholy. It was almost as if I hurt her feelings trying to defend myself.

"You don't think I'm here to harm you, do you?" she asked me.

"Madam... ...if you mean no harm, then move your... ...er, 'limbs'."

"Move them? You mean like this~?"

With that, her tentacles moved from the shore, but with the speed of arrows, darted through the water and settled right underneath me. They formed like a seat for me, so that I didn't have to tread water just to speak to her.

"Wait, what are you--?" Before I could ask what her intentions were, I look up, and she was physically giving me her answer. In the time I took to look at her tentacles surround me, she had come within arms reach, and immediately pulls me into a firm, yet soft embrace.

"I'm sorry to be so quick and abrupt, but I knew from your scent you weren't like those sailors. You're something different. Stronger, less soiled. Why were you on that boat?"

It's like she knew I was nomadic, and stowed away on that boat. Shuddering from the odd, yet not unpleasant, sensation of this Kraken's body, I couldn't bring myself to answer her back anyway.

"Can it be that you don't have a home? Always moving? Poor thing, you must be weary in spirit, even if your body can still stand... ...fufu, and it most certainly can still 'stand'... " I could feel her lower body press up even closer against me, and I lose my ability to deny the swelling happening down south...
