[He looked like some sort of... hulk, and that is what he claimed to be? If the bells and garish colors did not dissuade her from thinking there might be something familiar in his speech and the cut of his robes, his strange hair and height would have. Though she has met some tall men in this world... she is still not accustomed to those who did not have to strain their necks so severely to look her in the eye.
Which might explain how her tone comes out a bit more like "you are a priest?"
But she does not disparage him further, just waiting for the answer. A courtesy earned by the fact that... as much as she almost accuses him of lying, dissatisfied with her aim since the loss of her eye...
There is a weak and womanly part of her that is flattered by his wording. The straight, true shot of a warrior. It had been all she'd wanted to achieve, when her life had been a miserable slough of desperation with only a single possible hope. ... But at least things had made sense. At least a stranger who likely had no eye for such things admired her skill. (Hah.)]
