Throne sighed, heavy, with a great puff of his cheeks. Sighed and blew the heavy bangs out of his eyes. Inwardly, he berated himself, saying that he should have known better. What with ninjas and people with tails and possible lords with a penchant for hypnotism, Throne was learning rather quickly that some of his parlance wasn't exactly universal. Turning to the guy beside him, he pressed his lips into a thin line, as he thought of the various was he could go about clarifying himself.

"Um. 'Piss' is like angry. Warg!" He made a stern face and glowered, brandishing his fist. "And, um 'emphasize'...oh crap...how do I put this?" He stopped and thought about it hard for a moment, his attention split between his companion and the squid-like creature moving in the near distance. "To make strong?" he ventured, raising an eyebrow. He stamped his foot and made his expression look hard. "I meant that, I think that I can help you snag one of it's arms. Though I don't know for certain, I think. Very hard."

He looked at the boy desperately, in he hopes that he would get some of his meaning. Both eyebrows now raised in questioning, he nodded in the hopes his companion would echo him. "Yes?"

Bernard was blissfully unaware as the two plotted her demise. She was too busy trying to converse in her own squidy-way with some other people on the deck, but it seemed they would have nothing to do with her either. But it wasn't long before she honed in on her next targets. Without hesitation, Bernard began to slop and hop her way over to the pair, clicking and chirping in a friendly manner.

Claw had never been one for words or for literacy. In fact, he much preferred action over conversation and had very limited reading comprehension. But he understood 'Warg!' pretty well. Or at least, he thought he did. Either way, whether he really did understand or not, he nodded. 'To make strong,' though... that was a tough one. 'To make strong think'? What did that mean...?

Even though he wasn't quite comprehending the other teenager, he nodded again, his head slowly tilting to the side and betraying his attempt at faking understanding.

But then his attention was snagged away by the gigantic pink blob lumbering in their direction. All things considered, it looked much smaller at a distance. The singing, tentacle-slinging giant was quite disturbing up close, but it was definitely a--what was the word? Cepha... cepho...

It was definitely a thing and an edible thing at that.

Unsure of where to focus his single un-eyepatched eye, Claw let himself survey the entirety of the pulsing pink mass before saying to his companion, "It really big," his greatest understatement yet.

"Yes?" Throne said, nodding now slowly with the other guy as if in agreement. The teenager's head then lilted to one side, to which Throne stopped nodding and then said. "No." Under his breath he quietly added, "Should have known better."

Throne thought hard on how he could possibly correct himself, and as a result, was too distracted to see that the two of them had caught the creature's attention. It wasn't until the teenage boy beside him spoke, that Throne looked up with a small "oh".

The gross understatement of what his companion said was not lost to him, though he found it rather endearing. He gave the young man a nudge to his ribs with an elbow and laughed ironically. "Big is certainly one way to put it. Destroy-Tokyo-Godzilla-huge is another." He caught himself, now reconsidering. "You know, you probably have no idea what I just said, but don't sweat it." He paused again and frowned, his brain now catching up with his mouth. "In fact, I'm not quite sure what it means either."

Throne turned toward the huge Jello octopus thing and smiling, gave it a cheerful wave. Out of the corner of his mouth, he whispered: "I think it totally wants us to say hi."

He waved, he waved!! Bernard began to wiggle her tentacles widely back. She did a little twirl on her blubbery 'feet', trying to show that all she wanted was to have fun. Maybe they could have a group hug??
