Never surprise a tenrec. They're covered in very sharp spines. Of which Dash's suddenly bristled up in shock/terror/miscellaneous other emotions in that vein due to said surprise. Too bad poor Bunnie was hugging him at the time. Or maybe she avoided him. Either way Dash was stupefied on what to do from sudden hug onslaught.

[dice=2] (ROLL FOR ACUPUNCTURE)Bunnie realized her mistake a little too late, making a sudden face and giving an odd sort of squeak. Slowly she unwrapped her arms to find several sharp spines now embedded in the skin of her organic arms. Lucky for her it wasn't as bad as it could have been with that hoodie, eh?

Dash panicked- he'd just skewered her after she'd been so kind to him. "I'MSORRY! H-here, let me get them off!" He then proceeded to grab her by the arm and try to carefully (though at the same time, hurriedly) pluck them off. All while chanting- "I'msosorry,I'msosorry..."

Bunnie's arm was shaking slightly, and she had wadded her hand up into a ball. "It's... okay, hon..." she said stiffly.

Yanking the last spine loose, he seemed to of realized how inappropriate his grabbing her just like that must of been. Sheepishly he let go and he took a step back, still holding the last spine in his hand. "... sorry. I-I didn't mean to hurt you."His chest tightened. He didn't mean to hurt anyone. But it kept happening anyway. Maybe it'd keep happening forever and ever... maybe it was something he couldn't get away from... He sniffed.

She took to shaking her arm as soon as he'd backed off, still grimacing slightly. "It ain't yer fault," she said, still a bit stiffly, "Shouldn'ta been so careless,"

" ... you were only trying to be kind." He didn't want to talk about this anymore. It made him feel guilty and sick to his stomach. A feeling he hadn't felt in a long, long time, and was reminding him of how unpleasant it was. So, it was time to change the topic. "Where did you want to go to eat?"

Ah yes, a subject change. Bunnie caught the tenrec's strategy in an instant and decided to let it slide. Giving her arm a final rub she returned it to her side in an effort to ignore it. "Well, Ah was thinkin' about headin' back over to Charlie's. Less ya'll got a preference?"

"I haven't been here long enough to have a preference on anything, really..." He paused, his earlier thoughts returning to him. "I'm... I'm kind of worried that if... if I eat something that I'm going to ... change back again..."

Bunnie seemed to... deflate. Even her ears drooped a bit over the tenrec's concern. " Ah've been wonderin' about that..." she sighed. "Hon, I know I don't know nothin' about what ya'll mighta been through and whatever the heck that was that happened to ya earlier, but, well..." she threw her hands up and shook her head, "Ya'll cain't go starvin' yerself if that's what yer plannin' on doin'."

True. What point was there to being alive if he was just going to starve himself to death? ... that he'd be spending that time as not-a-robot. "... maybe..."

Bunnie sighed. "Come on, hon," she insisted, this time taking care to wrap her metal arm around him and pulling him gently.

With of a sigh of his own, he followed.
