Is this protection or just hiding?

[Isla&Steve]

Hello, so a new thing is happening now, Kuzco and Kronk now don’t rush to hide when I walk past the cage which is great, but we have noticed that if we have to open the cage to change hay and food etc, Kronk sits on top of Kuzco. Is this Kronk protecting Kuzco or something else? I’m not worried about it, I just like to know what their behaviours mean

It may be that Kuzco is hiding underneath Kronk It’s good they’re not running to hide when you walk past as well.
