Now you have him shrinking even further behind the fence.
If the woods could swallow him up right now, that'd be great. One of the biggest reasons for his choice of career, wasn't his passion alone. It was to make others happy. After all the time he'd spent in the movie industry, he'd almost grown a fear of making others sad, or angry. Personally, anyway. When it came to actual films, all was fair game.
The whole point of them, was to make others feel a wide range of emotions.
He'd hardly noticed he was holding his breath, not until Rabbit's voice grew softer. There was a sharp exhale. Along with an almost comical series of deep inhales. Projecting notes was easy. Keeping a breath in? Total opposite. He was lucky to hold a breath longer than a few seconds before he'd be stomping his feet in an attempt to distract himself from the sensation.
Well. With that finished. Was leaping into a garden the reason for all this? He didn't get the big deal. What he did get, was the importance of understanding the feelings of others. His confidence was back, now that Rabbit was speaking more softly.
"Listen, I'm sorry for landing in your garden. Guess it's a bit of a habit. I spent nearly my entire life working on a farm. But I was never allowed to dance there. Kinda excites me when I get to make a presentation around plants. Especially when they're such beautifully maintained root vegetables."
Did he notice that? Of course he did. He hadn't done the exact math or anything, but it had to be at least twenty two years he'd spent doing farm work, give or take. This cat could identify vegetables, flowers, herbs. All by name, and classification. He wasn't even trying to compliment the garden. To him, it was just an observation.
...He's smiling again. Unless it was a serious personal attack on who he was, it was pretty hard to keep him down.
"But didja really have to yell? If I'd damaged anything, I'd have definitely helped righting what I'd done wrong! You'd be amazed how quickly some plants perk up if you sing to them."
From a little smile, to a big one, hands going behind his back.
"Ah-- Anyway. I was introducing myself. I'm Danny! And I was also asking if you'd tell me your name, sir. Gotta give ya credit, it takes a lot of love to have a garden of any kind!"
