His eyes widened when the unicorn not only stood, but stepped towards him. He knew instantly that the animal had perceived his more educated sight and realized that he knew what it was. He almost thought of bowing to the creature, for he knew he was truly blessed.

His eyes misted over in awe when he heard the unicorn's thoughts. "My... lady," he said gently, unsure of how to address the creature before beseechingly holding out his hands to the marvelous creature. "It was... an accident. Completely unintended if you're wondering," despite his age and former casualty approaching most situations, he was stuttering like a startled child caught doing something wrong.

"My lady," he said again, inclining his head. "Truly, I am blessed with the presence as one such as your own," he murmured. Gods there were so many questions he could ask, it was a thrill to be communicating with a unicorn. Something so delicate, so feral, and yet so intelligent. He looked up, tentatively seeking to meet its own equine gaze, seeking the intelligence he knew roamed there. His hands ached to reach out, to touch that sleek pelt, though he held himself in dire check.

He doubted the unicorn wanted him dawdling over her, as old men were wont to do with things that amazed them.
