"...I was under the same impression, young lady! Quite serendipitous, I'd say."
*His tone was equally exasperated, leaning down a little to examine her briefly. More deer-like than any centaur he'd ever seen, she was lithe and small in comparison - though clearly not due to any lack of strength. He smiled more warmly than he'd ever managed before, taking a step back and bowing lightly.*
"Circine, son of Haracene. Of whom do I have the pleasure, young madam?"
Marsha
*Oh, wasn't he a formal one. Melody wondered if that was how most folks were around here or was it rather just the centaur himself.*"Melody Vander."*She'd say, doing a careful courtesy to match with the centaur's bow.*"Pleasure is all mines."*She'd stand back up to her full height, not that it made much of a difference to how she was before and would glance around the area for a short moment.*"You wouldn't happen to be a local here would you?*She'd ask him.*
Ronald
"A local, no. Familiar with the region, yes. I've based myself out of this city for a few months now, so if it's a guide you're after..."
*He would turn on the spot, his hooves clicking softly against the stone underfoot as he made a wide gesture to the metropolis.*
"Welcome to Salvainia, the Jewel of the Empire."
Marsha
"Darn..."*She'd say under her breath before looking back up to Circine, supposing that she shouldn't expect a place this big to be going without tourists much like herself. At least as she was now. With him welcoming her to the Empire she'd allow a smile to reform on her face.*"It's nice to be here."*She'd say before trotting past him a short bit. This place did seem pretty large. At least so she thought to herself. Melody would glance back at him, asking:*"Any places you would recommend visiting around here for us Centaur 'Tourists?'"*She'd ask him in noting that he claimed to be familiar of the place. Maybe he can act as a sort of guide for now until she found what she was looking for around here.*
