*It was a few days later when Nagnis returned back to the stables. He had jumped off Millie and led her into the stables, allowing her to get some sort of comfort in for the travels they had done these past few days. He had put her into a stable and turned her around, taking off her reigns and saddle and placing them to the side.

**"There you go, Millie. All relaxed and ready to rest."** He said to her before she collapsed. **"Hey, at least be more careful with your body, that could hurt you."**

Millie stared at him and he just sighed.

**"I forget you don't exactly understand me."** He gently patted Millie on the snout. **"Sleep well, girl."** 

He then exited the stable, and upon turning to leave, he passed a particular stable with a particularly unique being. It caught him off guard; at first he imagined it was a Macen who had decided to rest with their horse companion. He moved back and looked over the stable door and saw the body of a horse, yet no horse head. The beauty of the coat patterns took him by surprise... He hoped one gentle touch would not hurt. He was usually good with animals.

He slowly opened the stable and entered, moving his way towards the horse's body. He got onto one knee and reached a hand out slowly, hesitating for a moment before he gently touched the horse's side.*

*The horse's body moved a little bit in it's sleep, as he pat its side, the hay that was covering the horse's 'head' moved away, revealing the torso of a woman, what he was touching was in fact a centaur, the sleepy creature was waking up and she looked around in confusion after she felt something touching her, she was still not assimilating what was going on*

"Huh?"
Matthew
*He looked towards the woman's torso and immediately retracted his hand, stepping up and back. His eyes were wide, purely because he was not expecting such a thing to happen to him.

**"Good lord, madam, I'm so terribly sorry!"** He exclaimed while bringing his hand up and scratching the back of his neck. **"I had thought you were a regular horse, madam, I did not think you were... Attached."** He blushed a little pink in his cheeks. It was all he could formulate.*
Ralph
*The sleepy centaur, yawned and rubbed her eyes with her hands as she was still laying down*

"You thought that I was a regular horse and you were petting my side then?"

*She looked at him with a confused look on her face, she couldn't understand how was she confused with a normal horse if she very clearly wasn't one, he didn't see her torso? She stood up, the creature was easily taller than him*

"It's ok, I accept your apology, but I can't understand how did you confused me with a normal horse, do all horses have human torsos attach to them?"
Matthew
*He paused and lowered his hand. 

**"But, of course, madam. Do... Have you never seen a proper horse?"** He raised his eyebrow slightly. Perhaps she did not know any better, and that was fine. He would be sure to expose her to this idea.

**"I'm surprise you've... Lived with that conception. I came here to put my horse to rest for the night. Would you like to see my horse?"***
Kathleen
*Quiss was at the stables at the time in order to exchange a few words with the current owner of the horse he wished to purchase, on his way out from the talk he would hear the familiar voice of Nag and would peek into that slot in the stable, seeing a familiar centaur.*

"It's weird that I can't seem to escape either of you when I'm not working."
Ralph
"I've seen people riding horses... Not up close but I've seen them, and of course I would like to see your horse!"

*She always wanted to see people's pets and different animals that accompanied them but she hadn't had the opportunity to pet a horse, since she was too shy to ask a total stranger, she turned around as she heard the voice of the bartender that she had encountered previously*

"Hi there, are you following me or something? It's the second time I've encountered you out of the tavern"
Kathleen
"Following you? That's a bold accusation." *He'd chuckle.* "I actually came here to buy a horse, any chance you're for sale? Wait, that sounded way better in my head before I realized it's probably racist."

*His grin wouldn't fade as he came into full view.* "Your name was Olive, right?"
Ralph
"Me? For sale? The other day one of my friends tried to ride on my back and I freaked out and almost made her fall, I don't think I would work as a horse unless you wanted a wild rodeo horse"

*Olive wasn't offended, she giggled covering her mouth, she still wasn't even used to wearing a saddle, she picked up her bow and arrow quiver from the ground*

"And yes, I'm Olive, your name was Quiss did I remembered it correctly?"
Kathleen
"The one and only." *He would chuckle at the description of her being ridden like a wild rodeo.* "Honestly I had no idea the centaur lived in stables, you don't eat hay, right? Hm, now that I think about it, there are so many questions about how the centaur work. Which part has the heart, which part has more organs?"
Ralph
"It's just that the beds on tavern aren't usually big enough for a centaur, it's better for me to sleep here, it's confortable for me"

*She thought for a moment*

"About the organs... My human side actually just has my lungs and heart, the rest is in my horse part, centaurs have really big lungs and hearts to sustain our bodies"
Kathleen
"That's actually... Pretty fucking cool." *He would eye the centaur head to toe, looking genuinely fascinated.* "Never really thought about the inner workings of a centaur.* "What about... You know. Actually that's probably an inappropriate question to ask a lady."
Ralph
"My what? I don't feel ashamed easily, if you have a question, I can answer it"

*She had no clue what he wanted to ask but she was curious about it, she played with the hay on the ground with her left front hoof*
Kathleen
"You know... The edit baby centaur come out of. Since well, you aren't exactly wearing pants or anything." *Quiss didn't seem ashamed of the question itself, more so just didn't want to scare the centaur.*
Ralph
*She blushed a bit but then decided to answer the question*

"W-well... That's just like the same as... A horse... Except that baby centaurs come out instead of full horses..."
Kathleen
*Quiss would ponder that for a moment.* "So centaurs can only breed with centaurs? Or does any race work? Do horses work?" *He would chuckle at the thought but would look genuinely curious.*
Ralph
*She blushed even more*

"I-I believe that it works with any race... But the babies would always come out with centaur bodies... Or that's what I heard from my tribe..."

*She keep playing with the hay with her hooves to distract herself*
Kathleen
*Seeing her get uncomfortable he decided to tease her, leaning on the pillar next to him.*

So theoretically we could make Dark Elf Centaurs?"

*He'd wink after saying that, hoping to catch her off guard.*
Ralph
*This definitely catches her off guard, she took a step back and clumsily sat on the ground with just her back legs, she was blushing red as a tomato with her ears lowered*

"Y-yeah... T-theoretically, it could be possible..."
Kathleen
*He would chuckle at the reaction.* "So much for not being ashamed easily.~ Well, I have to go pick up my new horse now, and run some errands. It was fun talking to you. Quite informative~."

*He would turn to leave, offering her a three fingered wave as he does so.*
Ralph
"See ya..."

*She sight in relief that those questions were over and decided to go back to sleep, she went back into her space in the stables and laid down, quickly falling asleep*
