It's the kind of situation where people are more likely to be withdrawn and musing than anything, and honestly, his first impression when he approached her was that he stood a pretty good chance of retaliation from the start.]

But I think it's nice to have the chance to see new things. I've never seen a centaur before, either.

[Not when he wasn't possessing a body worlds away, at least.]
