Though Juugo was still tense, flinching at what appeared to be nothing every so often, the promise of somewhere safe brought him enough clarity to push through the fear. This man would show him somewhere safe, and he could go back as far into the cave as he could and hopefully it wouldn't get far enough out. Maybe this time the cave-in would trap it and Juugo wouldn't have to worry anymore. There would be nothing to worry about then.

"We should hurry."

He shuffled a couple unsure steps closer, still drawn in on himself tightly, but the birds looked more relaxed.
