Huh....That thought never occured to her. She figured he wouldnt want to help her but she shouldnt judge a book by its cover right? Or at least thats what the human saying for it was. Since he kinda offered, Amy would try to ask him or whomever she was around, for help when she wanted to wade in deeper water. "I'll remember that next time I decide to be brave." She was taken back at his question for only a moment, flopping down on the sand into a cross-legged position.
"Its not just people per se, but we as in the females, eat males as well as our mates after bearing children or seed pods from their genetic material. The more human a male looks, the more we are tempted to eat. Its a trait Im not really fond of but thats just how we work. Our species is similar to the one in the Harry Potter books in the human world if anything even if its not exactly accurate."
Her vines started coiling around her arms and she smiled, bringing one up to nuzzle her cheek against it. "As far as seedlings go, females cannot really controll their apetite during their "teenage" years. Its why I was so paranoid and scared when you...Saved me. I dont want to eat you...If anything I dont want to eat anyone." She brought her knees up to rest her head on them, looking to him before looking out to the sun. The "man-eating" nature of her species is what usually drives most males off, leaving the females no choice but to try and see if the fairer sex would be more tolerable.
"Did you want to know anything else? I might not be proud of my species but its also something I know we can and cant help. My own mother hasnt eaten my father since I was recived from my bud. Its a rarity and quite funny at the same time."

Hummmn...She didnt know who to go to for swimming lessons so she would have to do some reasearch later. "I'll look into getting a teacher. It would be nice to see the bottom of the ocean again without drowning." She let out a nervous laugh, straightening her legs out again while she tried to wiggle her toes in the sand. She wanted to make a sand castle before it got too late, but she supposed she had time. "Oh Jack no! Erm...I mean, no I wouldn't youre far too big and while you do look humanoid enough, I can still tell youre a creature of sorts. The only danger would be a reaper really since they resemble humans much more."
She looked away then, looking at the sand for a moment before speaking once more. "It is rather hard, but I'll be able to controll it once I get a bit older. Im just glad Im late starting the process. As for mating yes, we do get to pick! We are a matriarchal species. Males dont really have a say in who picks them as a mate, but we try to bend the rules a bit for some. Its really up to our Mother plant when it comes to the final say, so I guess we really dont have much of a choice. Otherwise we risk empty pods and curses."
Her species was rather dependant on mother plant for the survival of their species. But Amy's parents sent her away with the intent that she would find some one different. She supposed going to school would work. "We can eat males out of spite though. Ive ene heard of females eating other females which makes them an oddity if anything.

He hadn't been worried about it, but it was good to hear her back it up. Being eaten did not sound fun at all. Sidron liked being uneaten. Sure she probably could if she cut him up into tiny bits, but now he was entering a whole world of thoughts that he really did not enjoy. "Do you eat people whole?" Last question, maybe.
"So you mate within your own species more often then? I would assume your...what was it mother plant? would be a lot pickier with inter-species mates." He idly pushed some sand into small mounds with his toes, watching as a small crab like creature scuttled across the beach and back into the water. "Like arranged matings it sounds like." It was a thought more to himself then really directed at her.
Sidron leaned back furthur so that he was laying out on the sand now. The beach was warm against his back, though sand would stick to his wet tank top now. Oh well. "Well, I could see eating males out of spite. We can be jerks sometimes. Eating females though, especially of your own species sounds a bit counter productive. I assume gender in pairings does not matter, since you mentioned genetic material." He wasn't too sure why he had a sudden interest in this. Perhaps it was just to see how another species was different then his own. Male and female pairings were generally required among his species for breeding purposes. But then, there wasn't much species mixing in the first place either.
So he came to the general assumption that things could change if that happened.

At that she laughed so hard she doubled over. Of course it seemed like he would want to know how they ate people. "Well, we can eat people whole, but in our normal form, not in this one. We usually dont like to eat people whole, takes longer to digest if that answers your question properly?" See, she thought mother plant would be more picker with inter-species matings but there was alot of them and they didnt all come from the same mother plant either. "Yes, arranged matings. Its why my parents sent me to school. They didnt want that for me it seems, which Im content with. Most males of my species are rather weary and afraid of females for a good reason. Id rather find some one that appeals to me on a different level you know?"
She actually moved to lay beside him, making sure she didnt invade his bubble too much, her vines swirling this way and that. "Hahaha yes, you can. Gender in pairings does not matter and females eating other females is indeed counter productive. It usually happens if a female tried to take another's mate or if the female was mated to another female and wasn't worthy to keep around. The latter happening extremely rarely."
She turned to look at him then, eyes full of curiousity. "What about your species? Ive never had the chance to really ask and Im sorry."
