[It's okay, because contractually nothing bad will happen to this cat. Anyway, he's not versed enough in animals to even know that a cat shouldn't be in the woods, so he doesn't look too troubled.]
I think it's a stray. It must be scared of people.
[meanwhile Archer is trying to decide if he should spill the beans or hope that this particular cat will be able to navigate a forest filled with potential predators...
Though hearing it's a stray is actually a plus in this regard]
If it's a stray, it will likely be able to take care of itself.
I see nothing wrong with that, if that's what you want to do.
[This isn't a situation where a huge cat population is killing off the local environment; it's only one stray cat so Archer will be merciful in his assessment]
That might be enough to coax it out and trust you.
[He doesn't even understand the advice to be worried about something dangerous because he has never been truly physically threatened by anything in his life. It's going to be fine.]

Do you think it's wrong to feed it? If it's a stray?

[He seems a little nervous about it, though.]
But if she wants to hide for a while, that's okay, too.

[He hasn't seen anything dangerous in the forests yet, but just in case...]
no subject
I'll be careful.
. . . Thank you for helping me.

[With a slight bow]
What is your name, child? You can call me Archer.

[. . . ]
Are you always a horse, Archer-san?
no subject
[A gentle correction]
And no, not always. I was born in this form but there have been... unique situations that have allowed me to appear human.
[A brief laugh]
I suppose this is not one of those times.

[But since he sees spirits, he's very used to seeing strange looking people, so he isn't very thrown by it, either.]

[So he's used to it.]
no subject
Which ones, if you do not mind my prying...
no subject
[All just weird urban legend ghosts, all but one fake.]
no subject
[Which means they're probably not in the same league as Chiron, or so he's gonna assume from this brief conversation]
Regardless, I'm glad to see you are not put off by my form. Most humans would likely have fled from me.
no subject
Most people are frightened of ghosts, too. But I see them all the time.

If that is the case, be sure to proceed with caution here. All of us are more vulnerable than we normally are.
