[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.
