I was far more than ready to have a very nice meal, with crunchy as appetizer and Bennett as the main dish, but its seems that he may be kind, way too kind, but not totally stupid, and this soldier didn't seem to wish his story would here, so soon.
So when I touch him with second intentions, suddenly he jolts awake, grabs his gun and points it right at me, the round dark nuzzle aimed right between my eyes, all so quick that makes me question if this was the same soldier who had been guiding me around, looking so gullible, but I guess he had his claws retracted too.
I stop, my hand still stretched but thankfully hidden by the darkness of the cave, and my only reaction is to blink twice and stare at him.
Holding his breath Bennett finally recognizes me and immediately widens his eyes, withdraws the weapon, and takes a deep breath, the fierce sharp look he had a few moments ago dissipates and in place comes that kind smile as he looks away, seemly ashamed of his actions.
