*The centaur grimaced at Calico, her flippant attitude igniting an anger within him reserved for bandits and other unsavouries. He snorted loudly, giving a low whinny through his nose and replying curtly*
"If it weren't customary for my people to give our names when greeted, I would simply ignore you, Calico. I am Circine, son of Haracene."
*He returned his attention to Victor, smiling gently as he attempted to shake off the unpleasant feeling.*
"Yes, I can imagine so. If it had come to that, I would have offered to help. Being a centaur has its great benefits, especially for transporting."

*Her offered hand became a rude gesture at his back when Victor left her hanging. She crossed her arms and blew her bangs up out of her face.*

"By the sun, I should have just kept on going if this is the thanks I get for killing most of them for you."

*She didn't actually sound that upset about it though. At this point Calico was more comfortable when people didn't get too friendly.*

"I was going to offer a hand with the inevitable next ambush, but I get the impression you don't like me much."

*She shrugged and glanced down the road. It was true that she did know for certain there were more bandits in the area. Since she had worked with them from time to time. This last batch had been intruding on Kurz turf and tried to cash in on the price on Calico's head.*

*The 'doctor' perhaps nodded to Circine, the cursory examination brief of the centaur as he says,* "Well thank you, though I'd rather not treat someone willing to offer assistance as a mere beast of burden. Still, it wouldn't be the first time bandits or others would have tried to lay waste to my cart. Part of why I decided to employ summons."

*Turning back to the cart and pulling himself back up to doublecheck his belongings, exhaling. *"Nothing damaged."

Then directed at Calico, "You seem greatly deluded by the idea that you've helped us, but truly, you seemed to direct the bandits to us. While I am aware of the groups that roam up and down these roads, that one was quite definitely following you." *With a dismissive tone in his voice. *"Additionally, I feel you should be thanking us for providing distraction you so **Apparently** Needed."
Alfred
"While I am very much unhappy with you, madam, if you require escort I am more than willing to walk back to town with you. I *Do* Have my own errands that need running, so we should be moving along..."
*Deciding to be as diplomatic as his rising emotions would allow, Circine trotted over to one of the summoned horses, stroking its snout gently as he glanced between the two.*
