A small 'clank' and the rabbit was in Freddy's view, the bear tensed slightly but found the rabbit unaware of his presence as it seemed to be looking around for something. The intruder went into one of the back rooms and came back into Freddy's view, he saw its form hunched over and rummaging in something but it was out of view. Then as if the rabbit seemed to have sensed him, it stopped and slowly turned its head to face him, its ears flattened down with alert firm assertion.

"Hello Freddy."

Freddy kept his confident composure as the intruder's voice vibrated out of its being to greet him, it echoed down the hallway and the sensation of intent was almost like a wall hitting through him. This being was well aware and was on the complete defensive, its body was coiled and frozen, ready to spring into action at any moment.

Its form was muddled by the shadows the rabbit concealed itself in, but it's pale eyes were lightened up with a familiar light bulb that illuminated from the darkness much like the rest of his band mates and himself held. It was a good thing he was the first to face this subject, the strength even with its words would have easily overwhelmed the others easily.

The voice sounded masculine, so this intruder was in fact male, however his voice held a stance of one more than capable of handling them self. For both their sakes Freddy hoped this encounter would remain civil. This intruder knew his name and didn't seem like a mindless killer despite this intruder's not so distant act of slaughter.

Freddy took a quick observation of the newly repaired faded golden rabbit before him. Was his scanners glitched before? There was a lot of shadows when he first saw this animatronic perhaps the shadows deluded his form before. No wait, Bonnie himself also mentioned his 'poor physical form' as well. This was not a trick of the scanners this was the same bot from before. How was he able to patch himself up so quickly? Then again how could one of his kind consume an entire human? These questions would have to be answered later he had to focus and play his role and ensure no fighting between his order happens as of the moment.

Freddy softened his gaze slightly and decided it would be best to stand still and not give any reason for this unknown prowler to be provoked. This intruder had already shed blood in his Pizzeria not even within ten minutes of walking into it, this was a hunter he had to treat this situation as he would a frightened wild animal.

Freddy focused his circuits to move his right arm, however he tensed his gears so his movement would be purposely slow. He slowly raised his hand upward and had it stop around his chin area,

"So you do recognize me, it's as I thought you are one of us." Freddy said calmly, he kept his eyes fixated on the rabbit before him, watching his every twitch and movement carefully.

"I would much prefer to merely speak with you like civil intelligent beings that we are."

Freddy knew he had an ability that effected his other band mates, if he seemed calm they would be calm as well. If this other animatronic who had already greeted him by name was anything like the others perhaps his calm façade would ease the tense atmosphere he was sensing from this unknown other.

"Before we decide our next act, I must know a very important thing from you."

Freddy paused and slowly lowered his hand back to his previous position at his side.

"Is your code protocol number one, entry six, paragraph two under child interaction still operational?" If there was one thing that bonded all the band mates together regardless of age of creation it was children.

Freddy knew the best way to defuse any tense situation from a defensive interaction was find a common ground so they'd feel less out of their element and would lower their guard a bit more.

Even though Freddy softened his gaze, he ensured he still held an authoritative demeanor he kept his eyes fixated on the pale intense orbs of the other rabbit waiting for his next move.
