Rikami sniffed the creeper's hand, but seemed to be no longer growling and/or barking at it. Even though Ayaka could now see what it was, she gathered it must've been friendly seeing as how the creature wanted to make friends with her frost wolf. Of course, it was a scary creature to see, but there's no way it would be out to hurt either her or Mystique. It probably would've done so already if that were the case. She just watched as her pup caught to know the creeper's scent, not wanting to get closer to it herself.
