Cassient, thoroughly amazed by this talking badger and its rather preposterous demeanour, has to stifle a laugh as he calls out in the language of the Upper Planes "<Enough, friend! Thankyou, but be still, this one is no enemy!>" As he does so he puts his palms out in a placating gesture, though it is unclear whether he intends to soothe the badger or the bee. He knows that the bee is only semi-intelligent, and does not precisely comprehend his words, but he feels sure that it will get enough of the message to cease in its harrassment of the poor creature.
As the bee backs off and lands a safe distance away from the badger, Cassient approaches and makes a humble bow. "My sincerest apologies, good sir. I fear that it is my fault your meal has been interrupted. I fully intend to compensate you for the annoyance and inconvenience, but please - I beg you, step back into the tunnel for a moment. We have recently been attacked, and I believe our foe may well still be in the area. It would not do for you to be caught in the crossfire." Cassient makes enough eye contact with the creature to be polite, but all the while he has one vigilant eye on the tunnel ahead, wary of further aggression.
