[Karako had noticed Chip's knife--of course he noticed a weapon, he's not stupid--but he's surprised when it turns out that isn't their weapon.
The fact that it's crude and blunted didn't strike him as an issue, see.
Which is why this whole exchange is confusing.
But Chip's weapon, as it turns out, is a hatchet--one of the most respectable weapons a clown can carry, and it immediately gives Karako a slightly more favourable opinion of them. Even if they seem... reluctant to reveal it. He's not sure what that is about.
There's a lot he's just resigned himself to not understanding. Sometimes he's lucky, and something happens later that will make X or Y a fragment of his day make more sense. Most of the time it doesn't.
That's just life on an island of aliens!
Tim is pretty good at being clear, though. The gesture helps, for example, because Karako does not know any of his directions relative to where he is right now. Not even one. As soon as they have a planned route, though, he's so ready that he honks and takes off ahead, short legs carrying him over the ground with surprising speed.]
