[Mikumo takes an extra few moments to answer, listening for if the animal is drawn to Codi's voice. Luckily, while it does seem to pause, it may have encountered some of the Sylphid builders at some point previously and come off worse for it, because it starts to retreat a few moments later. When she addresses Codi, it's in about the lowest volume she can get away with and still be audible across their distance apart.]

That was an animal, but it seems to be moving on. You might want to keep your voice down in case we do get people, though. [Or something else. The drones from the hoverboard mission come to mind, or the robotic attack dogs. That was one of the reasons that the sound of an animal was in need of more attention, besides the risk of more territorial ones popping up.] Or in case they send one of their robots ahead.
