[ FUCKING SOLD. where do you want him to artistically drape himself???

..... well. he probably has a point. and it sure would look bad for the hakutaku to get caught up in some kind of murder investigation, hmm..

he hurries to keep up, wondering vaguely if he might have already gotten himself into some sort of trouble. on one hand, this guy is a stranger. a strange stranger. what if he is a murderer, adorable snail or no? --on the other hand, hakutaku is hakutaku, and it's generally lucky to hang around him, so surely it'll work out. right? ]

Not if he's sneaking up on us first! Then-- brrrm! [ he makes a motion like he's starting a chainsaw. ] Be ready to run, probably. [ he plants his hands on his hips, huffing and ruffling up his bangs. ] I've spent some time on Earth, you know, but this is new for me.
