"Zane, I owe you now for helping us... so if you have any questions about centaurs, I'm glad to answer what I can..."

"Oh so many it's not trouble... I guess your back story included? If i's ok? " he says

"Oh, you're very interesting, Ness." Encouraging and fond.

A smile back at Sparrow, and a flutter... maybe Zane didn't do his magic right...there's still something there.
