[I can't believe Hansa will get murdered by Chiron! This is just how it happens.]
Mm. In a way, isn't that ironic? It's like there's three options. You either fear something you don't understand, treat it like an all-powerful being who controls your life, or try to get things out of it. Kind of how people treat the Lord, honestly.
[We are gonna make this happen, Crystal. If not 24 hours, at least half a day of them just being stupid jocks.
Also there is a high note of amusement in his throat when he hears that next part.]

Which is a shame, because look at you. Who wouldn't want to get to know this amazing centaur?

My only notable qualities are my appearance and perhaps my legacy.

[That's the thing about Hansa. He might be a sarcastic jerk most of the time, but when he offers praise, he offers it unabashedly.]
Sure, being a centaur is nice and all, but I think I just like you as a person, most of all.

[I hate how Chiron looks genuinely surprised to hear this]
I... see. [Digesting this with a hum, rubbing lightly at his chin]
... You are perhaps the first human I've ever encountered outside of my students to say such things.
