On the other hand, despite the fact that stealth is not really needed here, Diarmuid cannot help but move silently and near to the ground. He has hunted and fought like this for all of his life. Add in the fact that he is very gifted in speed and agility, and it becomes very difficult for him to not move silently. This would be a very great advantage should he wish to attack someone from behind, but doing so to Javik is the very last thing that is on his mind. They are allies working to defeat a common enemy. To attack him would be dishonorable. It doesn't matter if he can tell the other doesn't completely trust him, Diarmuid will still do exactly what he said he would--watch his back. Not everyone trusts as easily as he does. Diarmuid knows this and does not hold it against them.

He watches for a good moment to spring into action and when Oscar launches himself at one of the golems, that moment arrives. Diarmuid mimics the animals move, launching himself onto the same golem to help the bandersnatch finish the job. Then, as one, man and animal turn on the golem next to it.
