[If there's anything that causes him irritation being in this town, it's the fact he can't just walk into the buildings that he wants to.
Maybe it's the centaur in him, accustomed to going and leaving and bolting along at breakneck speeds. And locks normally aren't a problem, either. So in the case of this particular building... well.
Archer trots around the perimeter looking for a way in, his movements casual save how his tail flicks back and forth like it's swatting invisible flies. Eventually he stops, one of his hooves grazing the cobble stones while he utters a sigh. He's just wasting his time at this point.]

[Shiro's train stop adventures were less than adventurous, so he's going around checking out the other buildings. Some open, some don't, and that's curious to him.
He'll end up reaching the planetarium just in time to see Chiron inspecting the outside. And while his first urge is to chide Chiron about being unable to fit in another building, he holds back on that for the time being. No sense in rubbing it in his face on the first day.]
Is that one locked too?

It is.
[He'd actually be less annoyed if he simply couldn't fit. That's a problem every centaur has to face.
But a locked door? Technically speaking, a well-placed hoof should do the trick, except he tried that yesterday and didn't see any results.]
The locks appear normal, but I suspect they're reinforced with some type of magic.

It'd make sense to back it up with magic. Picking a lock like this is no trouble for me, and I imagine quite a few people here could just punch or kick in the door too.
[He's crouching down to inspect the handle and lock. He can't actually sense any magic coming off of it, but magic in his world is Weird when it comes to humans so that's not unexpected for him.]
If I had my lockpicking kit I could still try, but I'll have to dig around for tools here.

Under normal circumstances most of us could probably leave, magic or not.
[he's spoken with a few of their fellow captors and the power range is... impressive.]
But of course, if you can find the tools, you're welcome to try. What do you need? I can make simple tools if they're wooden.

Mmm... The latter I don't have on me.
[What a surprise, given that mountain of hair he's constantly dragging around with him.]
Though I've heard there are items to find in one of the buildings. Perhaps there...?

[He's got to duck
... A lot.
But luckily doorways don't discriminate in the same way stairs do.]
True. I suspect we will all be here for a while, no matter our endeavors.

True. I suspect we will all be here for a while, no matter our endeavors.
Agreed. Though we'll likely be waiting until our captors speak up.
[They're waiting on someone else's time, which is... aggravating.
It's fine, though. He has no irritation to spare, and already switches gears as he glances to the side at his companion]
Ah, while I have you here -- I have a question. Are you a doctor?

No, I'm not in need of your services.
I'm merely taking stock of the medical experience we have on hand, should someone fall ill or be injured.

[A goodnatured chuckle]
No, I suspect if I fall ill, the only solution will be a grave.
[Just... spoken frankly. He does not expect anyone to know his biology]
In any case, I'm in the middle of making some medicines with the plant life. I'll let you know if anything is particularly effective.

Well! If you're looking, then there's plenty I could use to work with.
[He starts counting off with his fingers as he lists things.]
Chamomile, ginger, st. john's wort, valerian root, garlic, sage, tumeric, rosemary, thyme, organo, rue...Marigolds can be useful if you find any...daffodils too, but I'd need the bulbs specifically...
[He's. Going to keep going but those are probably the most important ones.]

[Chiron just
turns to his side where a hand-woven basket hangs around his middle, picking through some of the dried herbs on hand]
I have the sage, turmeric, rosemary, rue... though unfortunately I have not has a chance to see any marigolds around.
Charmomile and garlic are back in one of my other baskets. I will keep an eye out for the rest.

[Chiron was prepared to elbow him into helping the youth so this is fantastic as far as he's concerned]
Wonderful. That sets my heart at ease. Between the two of us, that should at least cover any stray accidents that happen.

[What a mess. Even worse than Chiron expected, and he has lived to see many, many messes.
But after checking in on some of the children, he will make myself visible in the town square, having settled near a wall with his tools.
He's making more arrows. Given everything that has happened, that is probably no surprise.
But he'll greet Shiro when he approaches with a nod]

In a manner, yes.
[More arrows to defend himself with. More ammunition to potentially put down stray dogs. He was slow to the draw last time, and Chiron doesn't feel like being caught off-guard again.]
I doubt the deaths will stop here.
