Julian opened his mouth to speak...but noticing how afraid she appeared to be, chose his words very carefully.
"Yes, man." He paused. "...Friend?"
Perhaps if he used only simple words...as if speaking to a little child, or writing one of his books.
"...Friend won't hurt you."

Colche nibbled at her bottom lip, she was still a little nervy, not knowing all the words he spoke didn't help at all, of course she could always ask "Nice?" she watched him, her feet hopping a little, she was fidgeting nervously, those huge blue ord silently watching the man lookig as if she would bolt at any second, or at the slightest greivance. She licks her lips swallowing hard she tried to sellte, Aubrey aid, no more work, Ambrose and Pyroth said, men nice on island, she had to trust that, she was just a little skittish still, it would have helped if he was fuzzy, fuzzy people were so nice.

Julian smiled more gently, nodding his black-haired head.
"Yes. Nice." He paused, gesturing to himself.
"My name is Julian."
He watched her, bright green eyes kind and sparkling. This was the closest thing to talking to a child he had done in a very long time...and really, he was cut out for it. He was very patient, and really didn't have anywhere to be at the moment.

Colche licks her lips, she physically calmed, or at least a little and she moved, just a little closer to Julian, her huge, deep blue eyes still a little frightend. She sat ion a rock, looking him over. If julian were to look closer at colche he would see old scars lining her arms and neck line, though these scars had been interupted by the apperance of her spots. She bites her tongue "Ju..lee..Yan" she spelt out his name as she spelt everything else out, her vocabulary wasn't very good, but she was far from stupid and a great mimick to boot. Her brow furrowed, she had yet to grasp the my name is part but she knew her name so she said it, rather swiftly and quietly, but shehad gotten a smile from simply replying that one word that was her "Colche" she makes a tiny puur sound though it is quickly turned off, she was rather too frightend to make the strange rumbling noise that she made when she was happy.

Nodding and opting against a handshake, he repeated her name.
"...Colche."
He smiled gently at her interpretation of his name. "And yes - Julian. Julian Colche's friend?"
He looked hopeful - would she trust him, or decide against it and run away?

Colche fidgeted a bit more, nibbling her bottom lip her brow creases as she looks for the word in her vocab, friend hadn't come up yet, nice was the closest thing she got "fu..rend?" She looked to Julian for an explination on what that meant and she even started to relax watching him with silent blue orbs, she tilted ehr head a bit, cat like in her apperance when she did this "Julian, nice?" the second question, she hoped he would nod, would say yes, wouldn't be a bad man, he'd be nice like Ambrose or Pyroth. "Aubrey, Aubrey Say no more work, Ambrose say, men nice island." she paused again looking for confirmation, she just, just needed to know he was nice then she could relax, at least a little.

He laughed softly and gently.
"Yes, nice." He paused...maybe explaining what friend meant....
"...Friend is person who is nice to Colche. Nice and helps Colche. Friend."
Smiling, he crossed his legs, settling his hands on his knees.

Colche watched him quietly just for another moment before she smiled, just a little tiny bit, the smile never came near those dark blue eyes, but she watched Julian, keen brigth eyes never leaving his face before she nodded "friend Julian" she caught the nice part, friend, meant nice, that was a good enough explination for her, of course, she was loosing alot of words in translation, her mind only absorbing the words she knew. Shelicks her lips a few times and points to the ricks behind her "pools" she tilted her head again turning and scrambling back up the rocks so that she could find the pool with her starfish in it again. She sits down at the pool and simply gazes in to the clear water, lifting her head she looks for Julian, there was still lots to explore up here amongst the rock pools,s he wanted to know what all the little critters were called.

For a moment, he just sat and watched her...then slowly got to his feet, walking over to where she sat.
Dropping to his knees, he looked down into the little pool with his usual smile.

Colche looked up at the man that now crouched beside her, her heart beat swiftly in her chest for a dfew moments but it quickly slowed as he didn't touch her or come too close. She looked around for Greer, she must had wanderd off. She pouts a little though the pout quickly subsides as she gives a rather large airy yawn. She rubs ehr eyes, maybe it was time for another one of her literal cat naps. She looks at Julian, would he take her home or would she have to get there on her own? She bites her bottom lip before asking that all important question "Seventeen?" She looks at him hopefully, a mixture of the sun and the sea air had made her feel rather more tired than usual, it was definately nap time.

A bit confused, he glanced over, brows furrowing.
"...Seventeen...?" He thought for a long moment, then realized what she might mean.
"Oh - Colche's room? You want to go to your room?" He spoke slowly and clearly, his tone gentle.

"room" she mimicked, though she didn't understand the word "seventeen" she said again standing and looking at him hopefully, preying he would understand so that she could go home for a nap, she wasn't really sure about sleeping on the sand, it was a strange feeling sand, fun to play in that was for sure, but she loved her bed now.

Julian stood along with her, hoping he had the right idea.
"...Yes. Julian take Colche to seventeen." Smiling, he took a step, looking back at her so her could lead the way.

Colche smiled lightly her big blue eyes glad that he had caught the drift. She reaches out finding the back of his jumper she held tightly to it so that she wouldn't lose her new friend on the way back to her duplex. She yawned again, licking her lips tiredly.

He was a bit surprised by her grabbing his shirt, but didn't object - however she was comfortable.
At an easy pace, he led her towards the complexes, emerald eyes bright and keen.
"...Colche want to learn to talk? Learn words?" Glancing back at her, he gave a kind smile. Perhaps...perhaps he could be her teacher here. Then he wouldn't feel so useless, waiting to leave the island.
Kind he was, but still a shade delusional about the whole situation. In fact, he had barely even registered that Colche herself had begun to change.
