Why such a hurry to leave the ground?
This hardly seemed like a question. Why would they stay underground? They couldn't move, and that was bad. They were supposed to be able to move. It was unfamiliar. Unfamiliar meant unknown, and nothing was scarier than that.

Were they confused? Very. But they were more than certain that this being was as well, because they had no intention of going back down.

After the initial shock of her parting their hair, they flinched, backed up on their haunches from the strange being, barring their teeth. With a slight twitch, they bounded towards the highest rock nearby, gesturing with their head and looking anywhere but down. Hopefully she got the message.
