Billy goats not so gruff

 Mina actually read the instructions and showed you how to hold your palm flat, so those little buggers didn't bite you. See, Roman's paying attention too.

It is very odd to be so close to animals. Probably odder when they are nearly your own height. I don't think I'd be smiling at an animal that could look me in the eye.
