I just think that Borrowers could be by nature very flexible and athletic. Like swinging from one rope to the other Tarzan style, leaping from the top of a chair to the table or from one shelf to the one below, rolling to the side to evade a human’s hand.
Basically, Borrowers have untapped parkour potential and if they showed their talents off during a chase scene, the human would be so awe-struck that they’d stop to simply watch the Borrower parkour away.
(I cannot stop thinking about them parkouring across a messy kitchen counter; cartwheeling, front/back/side flipping, etc…)
Edit: IMAGINE THEN THE HUMAN ACTING LIKE A GYMNASTICS COACH! CATCHING THE BORROWER BEFORE THEY FALL AND HURT THEMSELVES FROM TESTING A NEW PARKOUR TRICK!!
