The cave was nice, and well hidden. Juugo relaxed even more. He would be safe here. Even if it came out! It wouldn't get too far without something to chase, and he walked all the way in before the question made him pause.

Juugo peered out, not ready to come out again. "Sometimes. It goes farther if there's something to chase, or if I know where people are before it comes out."

There weren't any people nearby except this man. So it wouldn't go very far, Juugo thought. But it would be better if this man left entirely, and Juugo didn't watch him go. Then it would just destroy the cave and the trees around it.

"If you leave now, it won't try to chase you. It doesn't pay attention to things that are far away."
