The movement was enough to catch the hunter's attention from the group inside. He immediately shifted into a crouch, one hand withdrawing a throwing knife from a sheath at his thigh, ready to face an attacker-- oh. It's just a... child? He straightened up awkwardly, returning the knife to its sheath and holding up one palm in a silent gesture of peace.

And then there's a growl to his right, startling him again. Takes a few steps back in defense, ready to draw again if necessary.

"I do not mean any harm, I swear. I was just hunting in the area. Forgive me, I was eavesdropping only out of curiosity."
