He's just scared, see? Look, Ruddiger, this is my friend Maya. I promise she isn't going to hurt you.
[Ruddiger- who seems to actually respond to his name and in some way, somehow, understand what Varian is saying- peers around Varian's head at Maya. For a long moment he doesn't move until, eventually, he leans forward a bit to sniff cautiously at the air in her direction.]
She's just as scared of you as you are of her, I believe...neither of you got a chance to get off on the right foot.
