Peter catches the shiver just as he turns away, and vows to tease even more once he's checked up on the unicorns. He wonders how long it will take for Murdoc to remember the charm--
But the thought is gone as one of the unicorns approaches. An old mare, with bright eyes that are clearly pleased to see Peter, though she whinnies and does a little nervous dance when she catches sight of Murdoc. Peter immediately steps forward, crooning in a soothing voice and patting her nose and neck until she's calm. The words he's saying are nonsense, really, but the tone speaks of someone well used to working with animals. Soft and almost lyrical, bouncing between different languages with no rhyme or reason but to create the effect Peter is going for.
He proceeds to thoroughly ignore Murdoc in favor of personally saying hello in the same manner to each of the unicorns, though the unicorns seem well aware of Murdoc's presence.
