Manimal thinks that staying still and listening to the creature’s own beat is the key, letting the animal flow around him instead of forcing the observation. He stays quiet, watches the rhythm, and when the animal pauses he gently takes a note in his mind, never interrupting the natural flow.

Manimal nods, agreeing that the quiet rhythm feels like a hidden conversation, with him simply a shadow listening while the creature speaks in its own subtle language. He smiles to himself, noting how the flowchart of the scene plays out in his mind, and promises to keep the marshmallow reward ready for when the rhythm is finally broken.
