I would pick it up, looks like I got a new exotic pet, time to make a whole tik tok and Instagram account around the creature and the story of how I found it, what it is what to name it etc. I go viral and it's now on the news cus now one knows what it is. The government knocks at my door to inquire about the creature, to which I have already told to hide and run if it hears yelling. It must save itself and use everything i have taught it to survive in yhe horrid world. I deny the government it's want to investigate and they forcefully enter my home with a warrant for inhabiting alien creatures. I fight them to gain the creature some time to escape. I am taken in for resisting authorities, but it is too late. The government nor I kmow where it is and I only hope I get out to see the creature once again

Grow a arm and gently pat it
