Maybe he'd have been more silent if he hadn't been looking to die. He was throwing safety to the wind what didn't blow here, just let everything to drop. Along with his sense of self preservation.
Maybe it was all the walking on his peg-leg fresh, combining with hearing Gamzee and all every motherfucker else. Maybe he just got on being stupid.
Either way, he hears the growl. Would be hard not to. His ears flick on back to it and he goes very still.
He's not met Julian. All assumed him human. Assumed him frailer and weaker, lacking the killer's instinct as trolls were to do for having-- even if he had the skill. But humans don't growl like that which means something inhuman. Could even mean something untrollish.
He was going to die. Still, he kinda hoped a mauling wasn't up on menu. He growls on back, but doesn't turn just yet. Maybe this Julian had claws enough to lop off his head, make it easy.
Sorry about being even later ; w ;
