Awe

The minute she spoke, William looked confused. It wasn't a look of disgust, but his face certainly twisted. His arms dropped by his side and he just stared. Stared like she was a side show to be gawked at. It was unusual; he had seen and met so many creatures, yet he had never met a single one that came close to what he was standing in front of. Clearing his throat, he turned his back from her and started walking again. He didn't know what he could, or should say. They were a days walk to the edge of Dalen where she would 'safely' be dropped.

"Keep up, not too far." His voice was light, and still showed the presence of awe.
