Huh?
The great [Holy Tree Guardian] was a bit puzzled that this guy really didn't run away.
Oh wow, instead of fleeing after my warning, he's actually approaching me?
"You're not afraid of me?"
The half-human height squirrel blinked, its big tail swishing behind it, bouncing around Herbert and directly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I might just squash you flat?"
As it spoke, it even extended its little paw to make a gesture.
Herbert's eyes, quite unhelpfully, subconsciously followed the white squirrel's tail for a couple of moves, then he looked back at the squirrel, smiling as he retorted:
"I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of you?"
Herbert allowed the other to thoroughly examine him from every angle, spread his hands, and smiled: "Sir, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."
Herbert generously revealed his goodwill, raising his hands to show he wasn't carrying any weapons.
"We are not enemies."
