Hmph. [A poor lie it may be, it was also an effective test. Exposed Takame may be, he's gotten information out of this encounter. And despite the threatening words, his tone didn't falter.
Though displeasure towards said threat was clear in his twitching tail hidden under his coat.]
I'll not blame you for your suspicion, ser. But I assure you this: I mean you no harm or ill intent otherwise. [That much was true. He didn't attack Harding, had no weapons on him (not that he needed them), and hasn't lowered his arms at all since this began.] 'Twas merely the actions of a citizen concerned about the immobile officer in his vehicle. [Also the truth, if three quarters of it.]
