Gonad's just being nice. He didn't visibly react to the sounds (which gave away the presence of a foe) or bother to stand just because he's trying to see if it'll do something that may hold his interest. Since he doesn't approve of its course of action, he's offering another chance in the hopes of it reconsidering its choice of attack.

Gonad is a man of necessity. He only defends himself if he feels like he needs to.
