They're something out of old Earth mythology, but with what technology can do these days -- and what the Cetagandans have made themselves into -- Piotr is learning to mitigate his surprise. At this point, it's no more ridiculous than anything else that's happened since the arrival of the outsiders.
Piotr wasn't expecting sentience, much less such civility, out of a mythical beast, but he won't complain. The dragon doesn't quite intimidate him, but that doesn't mean there's no respect there. The kind of respect you extend to a creature that could probably kill you with its bare claws. Piotr meets Darkstalker's gaze head-on.
