*Kaimarir looked down at the centaur and paused a little bit. His bright, unusually yellow eyes stared at her for some time. Never before had he seen such a creature, and quite honestly he had mixed feelings about her. The horse half made him a little uneasy, but the human half looked appealing.

The human-looking Kaimarir finally spoke.

**"It's okay. He only interrupted my song. Not that it was important."** He shrugged softly. He then lowered his lute and it hung from the shoulder strap across his body.

**"Perhaps a harness would be a good option for him."***
Hanna
*The ferret glared at him as he mentioned an harness as an option to keep him close, perhaps it understood that word and didn't like it*

"I don't think it would be a good idea, I don't want him to feel trapped, I'm working on training him to stay close" *She got closer the tree he was sitting in with her pet in her hands, looking up at him* 

"I'm Olive, what's your name?"
Mary
*He sat back in his place in the tree, pulling the lute back down to his hands and gently strumming away on the lute. It was a little tune, something rather sweet. He did not sing, instead he answered her while he played.

**"... Kai."** He responded rather hesitantly. He would bow his head in respect before lifting his head back up to look at her.

She may or may not have noticed the two holes on the hood of his robe. There was one on each side of his head, almost like they were little spaces for horns to go through. Yet the man lacked horns. A strange note.*
Hanna
*The ferret looked at him curious as he started playing his lute, it probably liked the sound of his song* 

"It's nice to meet you Kai" *The centaur did a small bow it looked kinda like a horse would do so, except for her human side, she noticed the holes on his hood, it did look weird for her, she assumed that maybe it was just broken or something like that since he didn't seem to have any horns*

"Do you play that lute in the middle of the forest often?" *She guess that maybe it was just a calm place to do this*
Mary
*He gave a faint nod before he looked to the strings of his lute, then looked upwards at her.

**"It's calm and all I know. I don't really have a home, but... Who really cares. Don't need one anyway."**

He had lost track of time. But he did not have very long left of is disguise. He has been in this form now for about an hour, and the clock was ticking.*
Hanna
"You don't need a home? A you traveling or something like that?" *She assumed that he maybe meant something different since she herself left her home a while back to travel and for now she hadn't returned there*

*She left the small ferret on the ground, it began exploring around the nearby trees, sniffing the grass and the plants of the place*
Mary
***"Well..."** He looked to the side for a moment, pondering about what exactly was going to be safe to say around her. He had no idea who she was, and for all he knew, she was probably a guard at some kingdom.

His bright, eerie yellow eyes glanced back at her before he stopped playing his lute.

**"I'm not... Welcome in a few places. I haven't found a kingdom or village that accepts me for who I am."**

That was a terrible lie, but he hoped it would suffice the girl and her curiosity.*
Hanna
"But you're a Mancen... Aren't you?" *His answer only got her confused, he appeared to be human, she knew that some places didn't accept Beastkins or Oriates for their size or their appearance, but he looked nothing like one* 

"I don't understand how any place could reject a Mancen... Unless you did something really bad..." *She got a bad feeling about him as she said this*
Mary
*He shook his head.

**"Many kingdoms only appreciate the more unique species instead of Macens. I've traveled far and wide, but considering kingdoms I've come across will not take me in, I resort to living in these forests."**

He looked up at the trees above him.

1 hour and 30 minutes.

He has 30 minutes left.*
