Imagine Arthur, Noel, Oscar, and John trekking through the Dreamlands together, and John has his eldritch body. John keeps a tentacle wrapped around Arthur at all times. Nothing too obnoxious, just a small one subconsciously curled around his arm or waist, ready to pull Arthur back from any danger (like holes). Arthur, for his part, does not seem to notice except to absent-mindedly rub the tentacle occasionally as if he finds it comforting. Noel and Oscar, however, DO notice, especially when the group stops to rest, because then MORE tentacles come out to wrap around Arthur, coiling around his legs and across his chest. Still, Arthur remains unbothered by this, casually talking to Noel and Oscar like it's normal to be COVERED in tentacles. Meanwhile, Noel and Oscar are trying to act casual, like the sight doesn't really freak them out, but it definitely does.
