Irkaih isn’t the best when it comes to strangers. Very uh…stonewall-ish. Her initial approach is always just to kind of stare at them. She’s trying to study them and basically gauge what they’re all about. But considering this is a fellow child, she’s definitely more receptive to them!
Now if they’re a reagent and actively sees them in trials? At first she more so stalks them in the shadows, before attempting to place extra items around the trial. A random battery on the floor, an extra brick on the table, etc. If they are struggling she’ll try to hide them and help guide them through it. She knows how it all works pretty well and would do as much as she can get away with progressing it herself. Anytime they’re hurt or are low on night vision (if they have it), Irkaih always has whatever they need she collected in her bag that she immediately offers up. She also will throw bottles and bricks to lure ex-pops away from them, and will actively run out to grab Ex-pops attention if they get too close to her friend.
