Arbiter watched Vex make his attempt. Valiant, yes, but geese are jerks, so of course they had their own thought about the whole thing. He should be happy they didn't have swans here or he'd have been swatted halfway across the beach! Okay, maybe not so far but a swan wouldn't be intimidated at all by the pup. He might have felt humiliated, but had she not said failure was expected? And in all honesty, better to get whacked by a goose than something with hooves.

While his sisters did their own thing, she offered some tips, Surprise will get you closer. Move slowly and watch the routines. Similar to a deer you would watch when it lowers its head to eat, when its eyes will be blocked by the grass and the brush. The longer it takes to be seen, the closer you get. The closer you are when it realizes, the more it might panic, the more it might run, the more it might do something foolish. When you hunt something that can escape, surprise is the best choice. Look at them there. She pointed her nose. Though the adults were watching them warily, even from this distance, the younger birds had already started rooting about for grasses and weeds, like the feathery lawnmowers they were.

Arbiter started slowly walking towards where the geese had settled, it was a casual, not-dangerous stride, but with their feathers ruffled, the geese weren't going to stop eyeballing them quite yet. If you were closer, where would you strike from? It wasn't like the landscape there was much different than here.
Arbiter is often not a nice person and will think mean things without acting on them.
If you aren't sure whether her snarky thoughts might be readable, just ask!  IC≠OOC
