Snippet/Summary:

"What were your ancestors? Did you evolve from a divergent line of some species of jellyfish? Cuz' your tentacles are smooth and don't have any suckers on them like octopuses or squid," you state, matter-of-fact, eyes now at his clothed midsection where you knew they hugged his body. Your gaze drifts to the stage, recollecting the story Jester told last night and you furrow your brows. "And this is really annoying me; is it poison or venom? 'Cuz those two are not the same thing. Venom needs to be actively delivered into the victim's body while poison is a passively-delivered toxin."

The three circus performers froze the second you asked your first question, staring at you in tense silence.

No verbal answer came, but all of their body language practically radiated discomfort.
