Why, could he almost feel ashamed, really -- he just didn't threaten people, or creatures, under normal circumstances. (Unless it seemed appropriate at the time... or if he really felt like doing so... which did, of course happen!)

It was, after all, either trust "himself" or have a difficult time of things.
