“Psh. What, you think it it’s gonna jump out of its container and try to take over my body?” She has her head spin around in a full circle, grinning at the thing and widening her eyes rather intimidatingly. “I’d like to see you try, weakling. I’ve taken on things way scarier than you. I’ve EATEN things way scarier than you. So by all means. TRY.”
You notice its many eyes focus on her, and they seem… angered still, but stewing in that anger. Almost like it knows that isn’t a bluff. Hm. Well, you decide to try the Spirit Bits to form a barrier around it just in case. The eyes turn back to you, illuminated better by the light of the Spirit Bits around it. The anger leaves them, and they seem to more just regard you with intrigue.
Okay. You’ll try a different tactic. You hold one of the crystals up to the tube, and see how it reacts. And… well, it’s caught the thing’s attention. There’s a bit of a sense of surprise that you have one of those, and it… calms a bit, at least. Or at least you think it does. Good, good. You’ll attempt contact, via telepathy. Here it goes…
‘Can you understand?’ you ask the thing. There’s a pause, and its eyes… bubble in and out of its body. ‘Crystal?’ you think to it, waving the object around a bit.
There’s a delay in response, until finally you hear in your mind, ‘CrYStaL…’
‘So you are capable of telepathy.’ you comment with a bit of a smirk on your face.
‘Viltemnebgamosetot-deg-duwerentirid.’
The smirk fades. Okay. Language barrier, maybe. ‘Crystal?’ you try again, holding the object up.
The eyes shift around, and there’s a longer delay in response. Shun Shun’s eyes narrow into a glare as she moves in a slight bit closer. “Don’t get any ideas, ugly.”
