[this: also unexpected. her own legs had reverted days before when she'd gone to investigate the lights beneath the sea ...but this is a whole squid where moments before she'd been hugging a girl. tentacles slipping from her shoulders and into her lap, this small sister-squid.
it's abrupt, and vi has a moment of inaction before scooping up the squidlet into her hands, trying to make a judgment call.
the first thing she tries is just stroking the creature, a gentle touch of finger against tentacle, trying to catch her gaze if she can. slipping her hands under to support jinx-the-squid, to hold a tentacle lightly enough that it can slip from her grasp if needed.]
O-oh! Oh, no. Okay. I can do this. What do you want? What do you need me to---
[can she even answer? vi isn't sure yet. she can see this squid is in distress, though, it's no less apparent now that jinx has shifted forms.]
even if it couldn't ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN RP and i am down with this haha
