[Tumnus shakes his head without looking up, not recognizing the voice just yet. His dark brown hair is plastered to his head, horns poking out even more apparently without the cover of the normally full curls.

Then she smiles and he returns the gestures, taking the hand she offers him. That had been a rather slow learned process - the handshake - but Lucy had taught him and her brothers and sister shared the gesture with him in their own time.

He didn't understand why humans shook hands, but he humored the gesture all the time when it was offered.]
