Ah well, it's as good a place as any for field research as any I guess. At least he has less chance of being seen.

So, from the whatever is left of the nearest patch of shrubbery, Pleakley watches. His hiding skills are pretty good for mediocre, and they're topped only by his ability to handle a pair of binoculars. Holding them sideways, and squinting out the end of one, he watches the guy from what he realises was probably a commercial. Not a movie.
It's sad how the media industry takes advantage of people like this.
"He seems to be foraging for scraps..." Pleakley mutters to himself. "A possible mating ritual?"

Silently, he pulls out his pistol and points calmly at what's left of.
A bush.
Hm.
"I suggest you reveal yourself. I do not make a habit of missing when I shoot."

DON'T SHOOT I'M PART OF THE MOSQUITO FOOD CHAIN!

"Present yourself," the drell instructs carefully. "So I can see you."

Don't even question it.
Clearly this person is relatively harmless. Thane lowers his gun, placing it back into his jacket.
"I will not kill you," he assures carefully. "But do identify yourself."

This would probably work a lot better if he didn't threaten to shoot the poor little guy, but honestly, he was sort of trespassing.
...Sort of. Even though they were abandoning this place.

"Uh."
Man, he should probably make sure he's on this guy's good side first. Just in case. And note to self: next time, choose a native who isn't a gun-toting wacko for environmental observation.
"I LIKED YOUR COMMERCIAL A LOT. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE!"

Thane has no idea what to say to that.

Really. What is this little guy even saying?

Oh no..."

He waves his hand limply.

Thane tries to figure out what's going to keep this guy calm. That's probably going to be pretty complicated really fast.
"It is all right." A pause. "Please, have a seat."
Reply
"Yeah, okay sure - OH-hohohoNO HA. HA. No. I don't think so. Good try."
Man, this is awkward.
"So, you use that thing often?" he asks quickly, pointing in the vague direction of the other man's abdomen.
Things haven't gotten much better at this point, and Pleakley's also robably talking about the gun. Maybe. Hard to tell with the little guy.
