What the hell was wrong with this thing? It had to understand something, right? Maybe crouching down to its level would help...
As he poppped into a squat, one hand dangling protectively over his more sensitive area, Gladio used the other hand to hold the raging cactuar at bay while he tried to calm it down enough to at least let him leave the room without further incident.
"Okay okay Reno's just your friend! Not your dad, not by a long shot." Yea, he definitely noticed that the little guy got angrier after he called Reno it's dad.
"Sorry I even suggested that. But I need you to stop attacking me so I can leave you alone. I don't wanna hurt you - since Reno takes care of you I'm pretty sure you're important to him."
The hand keeping the cactuar from continually ramming into him stayed put, not squeezing or pushing too hard, and Gladio kept his gaze as peaceful as possible. "I promise I'll leave you be if you stop trying to hit me. Okay? Truce?"
He's never been so grateful to be alone as he is right now. If anyone ever found out that Gladiolus Amicitia, Sworn Shield to the Prince-turned-King, begged a onsie-wearing cactuar to stop attacking him, he would never live it down.
