Fascinated, Jim watched its interactions with Sulu, studying it for any hint of malicious intent before he reached his hand out to let one of the roots curl around his hand as well. It was weaker than the other one had been, its grip certainly didn't feel like it could hold a grown man up by his ankles, and it didn't seem to be a direct threat to the ship.
Besides, Jim would have to be the biggest hypocrite alive to criticize Sulu bringing a questionably dangerous plant aboard when Jim had brought a questionably recovered serial killer. He just wasn't going to sink that low, especially since he barely had enough information to pass judgment.
"What are you going to do when it gets as big as the other one? I mean, you can't prune a tentacle monster, can you?" He pulled his hand back to move to prod at its teeth thoughtfully, jerking his hand away before it could get bitten, despite Sulu's assurance as to the safety.
