Seeing Tanikazi's reaction, Runo quickly pushed the furry-eared one behind him to try to prevent any other accidents like they had just gotten out of. Gesturing to get the attention of the hybrid creature in front of them, he then pointed to his throat and shook his head to indicate his inability to speak. He then held up his hands in an attempt to communicate that they meant no harm. Hopefully this person would get the idea that they were just lost and confused and wouldn't be attacking. He didn't have any voice left to speak, never mind pull off another shriek like before, and he wasn't sure how fighting on land would work with the different appendages. He couldn't just rely on the others for defense, though, so he would have to figure something out soon.
