Way, way too early. Johnny didn't make a beginner's mistake, at least--some players like to pick the longest word they can, like that's an advantage instead of more rope to be strung up with. Zagreus feels only a tick of annoyance at missing his first guess, doesn't bother not to let it show; the chimaera begins to pace. He really ought to have had Johnny be the guesser, unnerving him would be so easy and so fun, but there's something to be said for taking the high road in life. Once in awhile. Just to see what it looks like. "'I,' next." No more textbook. Don't want to look worried, even if it means sticking your neck out.
