Axius blushed and turned his head away. "Hey don't worry about that, If I had a brainwashing parent I probably wouldn't trust the world either. But the world isn't all cherries and sunshine Zarilla, there are good and bad people. We centaurs are a peaceful kind mostly but even we have some bad seeds." Meras took her hand off of Zarilla and looked in her eyes. "You were very tense, I hope loosening you up a bit helps you to feel a bit more happy. I'd hate for you to have such a bad experience your first time getting out into the world. Why are you out here anyway? Did something happen to your father, or did you sneak out here?" Axius turned and looked at Zarilla again. It had never crossed his mind to ask that question.
