That's an interesting reaction, and one he generally only got from Wutai. Everyone else hailed him as Shinra's famous hero.. as if a trained attack dog could be considered a 'hero' at all.

Maybe he shouldn't have put all of this in the box. Wandering around in an area full of strangers with bloody monster bits in a crate really is asking for some kind of negative reaction, isn't it? The silence that greets her staggered questions might not bode well at all, but the towering man doesn't suddenly draw a sword from nowhere and attack, his gaze just drops to the box he'd been carrying, and then sidelong to other bits of the convoy where at least a couple others had been doing similarly. Tifa isn't seen as a threat, no ordinary person qualified under most circumstances, but it's easy to tell she's badly agitated.

It reminded him of Zack's rage, some few hours before, strange and disconnected from what he expects.

If he was planning to attack anyone he certainly wouldn't warn them first, that's just terrible tactics, but he knows better than to say so. "I wasn't intending to at all. The avians were a threat to the people here, you are not." She looked perfectly ordinary to him. The monsters in the storm were .. definitely not ordinary. And nobody could mistake a zu for anything tame. "Please, be at ease."

Things that won't happen: that.
