Really? Your response to meeting a (literally) bloodthirsty immortal being, who could easily rip your face off like it's nothing, is to say "Talk to the hand" and walk away smugly? You sound like a cliquish teen girl meeting the unpopular kid

I think this could work with the exact same mechanic, but instead be more of a panicky, "Please don't hurt me!!!" with a message like "This person is too afraid of you to interact"
The current response just pisses me off and makes me wish I could kill merchants...
