[greenbriar]

[ He will frown at the message for a minute, feeling weirdly defensive about not knowing the thing he doesn't have any reason to know. ]

The latter.

[ ...and then he immediately regrets being curt. ]

I do not know what jinba is, I mean.

[lumberlady]

i see.

you need PHOTOGRAPH?

or possible you know CENTAUR? many people in LUNATIA see i and call i CENTAUR so must look same.

[greenbriar]

I am familiar with centaurs.

[ ...though there do not seem to be that many in Lunatia. Hm... ]

Are you, by chance, in the business of farming?

[lumberlady]

then maybe is fine to think of i as CENTAUR.

yes! you hear of farm? or maybe see at market?

[greenbriar]

At market, yes. The one with the screaming produce. I talked to a woman, but only briefly; I imagine that may have been you?

[ The centaurs he knows are... also fey. He remembers being surprised by her rounded ears, that day at market, but now it makes a little more sense. ]

[lumberlady]

surprise! yes, only mare jinba in LUNATIA is i, so must be i!

and to speak again!

[greenbriar]

I am pleased to have had the chance.

[lumberlady]
