This is Jaime's warning, at least, quietly delivered -- his excursion through the brambles was deliberate, unhurried, snagging branches and thorns scraping against leather designed to ward off such things, although he is a pretty big guy with not exactly the most subtle of weapons. Data will find it easy, likely, to keep pace. Once he sees the beast, he does stop rather than charge right into it.
There's the slide of steel against leather, however, as he withdraws his sword. "Would you prefer to take the end with the snake, or the end with the lion?" he invites, ever wry, and here he actually offers a blade to Data, a formidable knife that lacks the reach of his sword, but hells if he is giving up his sword. He has no idea how the man, if he is indeed a man, planned to attempt his quest, but the offer is there.
There or not its taken, Jaime will probably make his approach -- his plans begin and end with 'hit it with swords'.
