"The centalir" is the title of this chapter. It's about a beautiful half-horse lady who saved Martin's life. He thanks her for saving him, but he doesn't know if she's the "half horse lady" or not. He asks Martin if he should pursue her, but Martin says he's a "mercenary" , so he can't pursue her right now. Martin tells him to "let this end quickly" because it's "such a dangerous conversation" between men. Martin says they're ready to go down to the "mam-me" . They're about to go when they hear that Freddie is also there. Martin is so excited that he wants to punch him in the guts. He tells them to just ignore him. He's waiting for his lady, and he wants her to kill him right now, no matter what time of day it is. He wants to "punch him to death" because "there something wrong . . not a thing." He tells Martin to "use all force pause" because if he keeps struggling, he'll get hurt. Martin reminds him that he knew his feelings for him.
