Whatever discomfort his actions had caused, was completely lost on Gaucho. Perhaps Paladin might have offered his insight to his daughter, on what made the brute tick. Was it really so strange, that a creature intimately related to pain and bloodshed, understood enough to apologize for dishonorable actions, while at the same time finding simple vocabulary confusing? That he could be so observant as to target Ophelia's weaknesses (for she was not a weak mare), nearly immobilizing her and throwing her off a mountain, and yet was completely unaware of her not-so subtle indications of unease now? In another frame of mind, one not so fettered with anger, likely Ophelia would understand this. Though were Gaucho in her position, he might have thought it a trap too.
Still, as Gaucho swung himself towards her, he seemed un-phased by her stiffening and polished posture. All of his mental capacities were focused upon the strange symbol on the ground. His dark ears flicked slightly as Ophelia's words infiltrated his mind. Horn of God of Time he repeated mentally, though nothing in his vacant memory-less mind told him that this was correct. Her offer to take him to the shrines seemed... familiar, in an unfamiliar way. If you think that description was unhelpful, imagine how Gaucho must feel. Amnesia is a bitch.
Raising his antlered skull, Gaucho flared his pierced nostrils as he pondered her offer. Mara was silent on the issue - though if she hadn't been so distracted by her staring contest with Tinek, could likely have offered some helpful advice.
As his mental wheels turned unhelpfully, yielding no decisive information, Gaucho shrugged. "Do what you think best -" His lips remained parted, as if there was more to say. Indeed there was meant to be, but as the words left his dark lips, he realized that he didn't know the mare's name. In fact he did know it - he had met her before in the Throat, though likely didn't realize that it was the same mare. "I Gaucho.." He offered, finally finishing his sentence though letting the words once again trail off as if to say, and you are?
