The humans seem nice, but Luca doesn't object when Varian puts himself between them. He's used to his friends and family being protective of him. While that can sometimes feel a bit smothering, in place like this, where he has no idea where he is or how anything works? It's welcome. He does take the bag when offered and start rooting through it, though.

"Oh, I have some clothes in here!"

Among the first things he sees in the bag is an item from home. His seaweed shorts. Luca quickly pulls them on, then pulls the fresh robes he's been offered on over that.
