Clearly he'd stepped to close to some sort of personal boundary and it wasn't sure if it was something he said or something he did, but those fangs of hers went from friendly to ferocious in a hot second.

"Woah. White woman, slow down." He backed up, hoping a little distance between the two of them would allow her a chance to breathe. "It's an expression." He had no idea where she came from (lie, he smelled the spine on her) or what her name was (truth). "You know... Crocodile. With the teeth. Chompy. Chompy?" He watched her for a moment, waiting for it to click. "Animal that lives in the water. Giant lizard. Big teeth." Maybe she wasn't as well traveled as he was... Okay then.
