Nora-Ceph in for a shock. I was expecting a boyfriend or even fiance but a customer/client, I didn't see that coming. Again, your story seems to surprise me.
"Nora-Ceph felt the human fight-or-flight response kicking in but suppressed it"- this sentence makes it look as if the fight-or-flight response is native only to the human species whereas it is present in all animals..... just my humble opinion though.
Another great episode, I would like to see how Nora-Ceph handles this one.

The human fight or flight response requires adrenaline. Octopuses have kidney "sacks" and no adrenal gland. I can't find anything about octopuses producing adrenaline. If you do, let me know and I'll change this part :P
I too haven't seen anything about octopi having adrenal glands but I don't think the fight-or-flight response is totally absent in them. They have a similar response. Have a look -

Well, I was referring to the fact that the response works differently. Sure, they react to a threat! But it's different from humans. That's what I meant with that line.
