if he runs, he becomes part of this flock of prey. if he fights, this situation promises to turn into a bigger mess than it's already turning out to be--though he does get ready to lethally defend himself if necessary. and doing something to protect the humans isn't even a consideration. this isn't his world. these people aren't his responsibility.
so, with wide, fascinated eyes, he just... watches. and waits to see if he is going to be swept up into the violence or not.]
