His first reaction upon seeing the tentacles is panic. At first he thinks Roman is being eaten by a monster (he didn't exactly looked closely......) and then when he looks again, nope, no monster eating Roman.The tentacles are... part of Roman. So the second conclusion Show jumps to is that Roman tricked him to eat him or something (he doesn't know what monsters do with humans), but then figured that if Roman wanted to eat him he would have done it in the first opportunity.

Show is... intrigued. Like, he looks nothing like the monster that was lashing at Roman back when he saved him deep in the forest. The one from then was very feral,with large fangs, looked almost like a grizzly bear from hell. Roman is... From the waist up he's still pretty similar. Save for the scales here and there, and the gills.And Roman's tentacles are twitching and, it's weird, but... it's not too different from a regular squid. Only bigger. Show needs a moment.

The first question out of Show's mouth: "How do you life out the water????"

"Do you need a cup of salt water?" And Roman just eyerolls

"I am not a fish oh my God!"

"Do I have to carry you to the lake?"

"What? No! And the lake is like 30 minutes away... by car, how are you gonna carry me-"

Show shrugs, "I could do it"

"No! Look, it's alright, I just ran out of energy, keeping a human form is too taxing"

"So... this is you? This is how you actually look?"

Roman flinches a bit and slowly nods his head, he assumes Show sees him as a hideous monster now, and he can't bring himself to look him in the eye and just talk about this, clear any doubt Show might have.

Show pokes one of Roman's tentacles at some point, the tentacle recoils and hethinks he HURT ROMAN but it was literally just a reflex
