Do not. With the story.

[Ugh, he is not sitting through that.]

[The rest is...loaded. And a conversation he might have to have with a few people who didn't overhear things during his freakout. He tries to keep it brisk.]

The Bergens are the big people from back home. They're a lot like humans. They used to kill us. And kept us trapped in the troll tree until we escaped when I was a kid. [There, he said that with a sufficient amount of factual emotionlessness, breezing through it like he didn't just admit something heinous happened.] It's why I didn't trust the big people here at first.

[Which explains a lot, also, about his initial frenetic counter-attack when he thought Puss was stalking him. Of course he was extremely on edge when surrounded by new, strange big people in a strange situation and had already been attacked by another cat. Of course he threw things.]

[He quickly moves on.]

The problem with the traps is they take a lot of prep time and the right things to use as components. Not a guarantee just anywhere.

[He's honestly trying to problem solve this here. He's starting to acknowledge he does want to try to help. Maybe.]
