[ The name is accompanied by the whisper of Aurora's voice, and the impression of something large, snake-like and monstrous. The dipped hush of Aurora's voice is meant to inspire fear, though it had always been met by Bellamy's curiosity rather than sparking nightmares. ]
(He was a giant. Supposed to have been the most deadly monster in Greek mythology.) [ A pause, then: ] (I don't think it sounds bad with your last names.)
[ Though lets be real, it sounds like they've adopted a small frat boy. ]
[He plays the name over in his head, and Bellamy's mention of his surname allows a prickling of bemusement to run through him.]
(Typhon Lucis Caelum. A continuation of my family line. Sure, why not?)
[As if naming a space goo lizard will extend the family tree in any real capacity. But let him have his humor, in the face of an otherwise troubling reality.]
(Though does this mean you think it's going to grow up big and deadly? Like its namesake.)
[ Bellamy doesn't necessarily think that's a bad thing. It's potentially something that'll keep Cathaway from cutting into it at some later point, which feels like a good thing to hope for. ]
(I was hoping we could have found something in the books down here, but I've barely been able to look at anything. And no one from the other delegations recognized it.)
[The childlike side of Noctis would actually be delighted if it grew large and imposing. Their loyal lizard-child, a grandiose sight fit for royalty. Or just someone who thinks large dragons are kinda cool.
Both work.]
(Did they ask about what it was? Did you have to make up some kind of story?)
[He should probably know about it if that's the case.]
(They asked, but I wouldn't tell them. We're supposed to be mysterious, right?)
[ And it seemed safer not to commit to a lie that could be so quickly contradicted. ]
(Would've been better if someone knew what it was. I'm tired of trying to guess.)
[ And it would be nice to know what to expect rather than waiting day to day to see what happened. At least it wasn't poisonous, and didn't seem all that interested in gnawing on either of them. ]
(As mysterious as we can manage, at least. You did the right thing, anyway. Saves me the trouble of having to memorize some story about it.)
[That much is at least true.]
(At this rate, it feels like we just won't ever know. Unless we come across a bestiary that lists all the weird lizard creatures that hatch from eggs in the universe, we might just be out of luck. What are the chances that our next mission might be on its homeworld?)
[He hadn't even considered that; based on his own experiences, things that hatched from eggs were definitely natural creatures, something stole from the environment that it came from -- not made.
It makes him frown.]
(If it was created... or was some kind of, what, experiment? Then that means it had a specific purpose. No clue what it might be, though, but I suppose if it's something dangerous then we'll find out when it gets bigger.
[There is a a gentle agreement about keeping the idea to themselves. Their connection to the ooze baby is already a fond one, and he really doesn't want Cathaway to put it down just because of what it might be capable of.]
(So if that makes it my child, does that make you the wife?)
[HE'S JOKING, don't read too much into that, Bellamy.]

[ Refusing to answer questions in specifics is all Bellamy's done since he arrived. ]
( If it has a homeworld. ) [ What if someone made it? Unlikely, but so is just about everything they've come across. ] ( What do you think of it? )
[ Noctis's reassurance that caring about this ugly little thing won't lead to their downfall seems necessary. ]
