Juugo froze, looking almost like a frightened deer. He hadn't been paying close enough attention-- Oh no. What if it came out now?

No, no no. She was so small. He couldn't--

His breaths came in quick, uneven pulls and Juugo stumbled back a few steps. It was a bird landing on his shoulder that snapped him into enough focus to respond to the words. His voice was almost hoarse when he spoke, like he didn't use it often, at least not for anything but screaming.

"Sorry. I wasn't-- ... rabbits."

They were very nice looking rabbits, sleek and happy, and obviously very comfortable with the girl. He was intruding on top of the danger, even if his stomach rumbled a little at the fish. Juugo recovered from the sight and took another step back.

"... I need to go."
