This is pretty much my reaction whenever I encounter anyone in real life.
A screenshot from the video game Heroine's Quest (2014). The heroine character is approaching an elven NPC named Fafnir, who is saying "One sees a human enter one's presence. One wonders what the human wishes to speak about."

The other day I went out walking in a nature preserve I hadn't visited before. It was nice!
