[Y'know what sucks about being a centaur? Never knowing what foods are just an inconvenience or what might actually cause him problems down the line.
It's not that he feels pressured into eating, either. Frankly, Chiron could avoid that whole mess if he wanted, given the type of being he is. But even during those times when lore was reality, he's always been curious, and there's only so long he can focus on gathering plants and herbs for medical concoctions.
So today's experiment is brought to you by the letter C: Coffee.
Surely this can only go in great places]
Ah, hello. [He'll greet Pikachu with a polite smile] A pleasure to see you again.
Magic! And by magic, I mean the kid in a rabbit mask gave me this ribbon and now you guys can understand me. Which is great, it gets very lonely when no one can understand you. Even the animals didn't get it. Horrible. [ pikachu takes a sip ]
[ i probably should've said wildlife but oh well. pikachu shakes his head at chiron ]
Nope. I'm a Pokemon. I have never had to explain that before in my life, which surprisingly is not because of not being able to talk to humans. We're very common where I'm from. We're a very wide range of creatures.
[Well, more like he repeated the same word over and over and tried to convey communication through gestures. It's amazing Chiron learned as much as he did.]
... Forgive my rudeness, but is there a reason that you are... yellow? It'd be considered an uncommon color where I'm from.
[The kindest way he can think to say "If you were in Ancient Greece, you would have been eaten in half a day sporting that color"]
Is there a reason you have four legs? [ this isn't a reverse uno card, though, despite pikachu pausing to drink again ] I couldn't tell you. Pikachus are always yellow. Pokemon come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and colors. It makes things interesting.
[HE KNOWS IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE A CHALLENGE but Chiron smiles a little at that first part... because oh yes, there is a reason why he has four legs. Greek lore is so stupid.
... He's still not sure how this makes them different from animals, however. Perhaps they are considered more sentient...]
In that case, are they any pokemon that resemble centaurs? I assume not since you seemed surprised to see me when we first met.
Well... maybe your lower half sort of looks like a Mudsdale? Or a very big Rapidash. A non-stripey Zebstrika. But the first one is the most accurate with the whole. Size thing.
[Chiron really wants to meet a Mudsdale now... and would be delighted to see some of them are literally bigger than he is, wtf Pokemon--]
A shame I cannot see.
[Also. Coffee. He's finally making good on Pikachu's offer and getting himself a mug]
Well, regardless, I am glad we can understand each other more fluently now. The charades was interesting at first, but I was losing confidence in my ability to parse what you meant.
I'd draw you a picture, but I'm a terrible artist. Something about not having the right paw dexterity for pens. [ but pikachu nods as he takes a sip ] You did pretty well! Most people need a lot more signs. Also, and it pains me to admit it, I am maybe not that great at them myself. Never went to mime school, which turned out to be more of a problem than I ever thought it would.

Oh hey! Want some? I just finished brewing it.
[
does chiron know pikachu can talk now. it's fine. ]
no subject
he did not know]
You spoke.
[Which is GREAT because coffee is forgotten in an instant, there are more important mysteries to solve now]
How did you change your speech so quickly? Did someone teach you?

So you don't consider yourself an animal?
[sorry it's time for twenty questions, centaur style. Though he will approach pikachu and his pot of coffee]
