Xalendra tipped her head forward, hiding under her hood as she started toward the centaur. She didn't care to linger any longer, and just wanted to go back to her rooms in the castle. There wasn't much room, but she managed to turn to the side, facing away from him and slip between his flank and the wall.

A sudden tug on her hood brought her to a halt, and she was swiftly caught and pulled back before the man-horse with a gasp. She looked up with wide blue eyes and still-flushed cheeks as he stared down at her, hood gripped in his large hand.
