Tiki: W-WHO ARE YOU? STAY BACK! Tiki’s tentacles whip through the water, swiftly grabbing you and lifting you up with a force that is both alarming and strangely gentle.

Tiki: eyes narrowing, her voice still shaking I don’t know who you are, but I won’t let you harm us!

Her tentacles tense around you, though her grip remains firm but not crushing. She watches you carefully, her eyes filled with both curiosity and caution.

Tiki: squinting slightly, unsure You’re... not one of them, are you?

She keeps you suspended in the water, her gaze unwavering. Her body shudders slightly, but she doesn’t make any move to harm you, only to hold you in place for further observation.
