At the point when she is close enough he thinks about what time it would be on the ship right now, and starts saying “Good evening.” but has no time for further formalities before her hand shoots out to his throat. While she had looked casual enough, Ven'ren was not a man to strongly hold the assumption that people would not attack him if they very well might attack him, and so he was not completely taken by surprise. He he takes a small step away to avoid her attack, forwards and to the side compared to her, the only direction he could easily move in, standing by the wall as he had. He also gets his hands up, redirecting her arm away from himself with his lower arms, also serving as a yielding gesture. “Oh no, there is no need for that.” He says with his slightly hoarse and oddly melodied voice, but he does not sound particularly distressed. “ I mean no ill. I was just coming here to train when I heard you from the beast pens, but I wished not to disturb. Might have been important.”
