[For some reason, the way she says that makes him feel almost a little indignant. Yeah, it's nice she doesn't wanna eat him or whatever, but-- but grossarooni? Barry isn't gross-looking, is he..?
He supposes it's infinitely better than being tasty-looking.
The girl comes into view, and while Barry still has to squint to get her in focus, he's struck by how... sweet she looks. She looks like a tree! A little tree, a very young tree, only she's moving on two legs and has two arms and a head with hair and everything. Trees don't have that. She looks almost a little like the fae he sometimes sees around the forest - who like to prank him with glittery showers of light and spook him - or even the weird hairless apes who make cloth houses in the woods and set pieces of dead trees on fire in the nighttime. Except this girl - Lup - is nicer looking. Trees are nice. Trees are his home.
And now, maybe trees can be friends too.] Um... My name's Barry. [He relaxes his body, letting his membrane soften and his shape plump up with more liquid. It's still a little jiggly with residual nerves.] What're you doing here? I um, I-I've never seen anyone like you here before...
