Good reflexes, Faris. The snap of the tail gets Micolash to at least stop approaching, the attempt at a warning strike making the man giggle nervously. His eyes dart about as if he's just been caught acting little more than mischievous rather than being grievously lacking in personal space etiquette.
"I simply wish to examine you. Purely academic interest, of course! Nothing untoward." That's not really the issue, Micolash. It COULD be an issue, but it's not the most prominent one right now. "Oh, you're no mere beast, of course, of course. What beast keeps their wits and can speak words of man? Oh, you've no idea the answers you could contain. Please. I must insist. A sample or two, a moment's inspection. It shan't hurt, I assure you. Do you contain any parasites, perchance?" Despite his obvious faux pas (and his continuing to pile them on), Micolash remains giddy with hope and the assumed cusp of new discoveries.
poor faris haha god, putting up with daft men in cages
