He ran away in such a huff I was worried I’d scared him off

he knows you're a sweetheart and it was one little thing that you were probably more worried about than he was

Yeah I think he knows I wouldn’t hurt him.

Years ago he had his little buns parked on my hot water heater (probably just a visitor at the time) and I was very gently poking him with a pipe to shoo him away (because of my cat)… he wasn’t scared in the slightest and just smooched the pipe like I was patting him.
