"But you are. We are all animals. And, turning this on me won't work." Baba stepped closer, her eyes narrowing. She didn't push how dangerous she was; she wouldn't. It wasn't the best idea to let them know ahead of time that they could really be in danger. "I am not going to be intimidated by your size. Nor am I going to let someone who is obviously hiding from himself and others in his self-loathing continue to do so."
Her hands were on her hips as she looked at him. "You should feel pride in being different. Even if you do occasionally step on people. You should let everyone know you are not to be trifled with. You should let forth a roar...metaphorically, unless you really do roar. You feel like someone who would roar." Baba's hands lifted as if she were feeling his aura. Some people bought it.
