[Tumnus isn't shocked to see the centaur as a whole, though she looks a little different from those of Narnia that he's met and fought alongside.
No, he's not even alarmed that she's wearing far more than he's accustomed to seeing centaur women wear.
What alarms him, as she first echoes his quick apologies, is her shriek.
The faun stumbles back several feet, knocking a table over in a glorious crash as he clambers to maintain his footing in his surprise. Thankfully, balance and good footing is something the faun typically has in spades! His eyes widen as his ears pin back, hands held up as if to fend something off that just isn't there.]
My lady, whatever is the-?! [And then a blush creeps up his neck and up his cheeks, eyes practically bulging.]
I beg your pardon????
[Because WHAT?! He's a faun!! This is normal!! Besides, he has a scarf, tyvm!!]
My lady, there is absolutely nothing wrong with how I am presented before you. [He is embarrassed because of her reaction. Seriously, he was covered in fur!]
