Saber remains still as the creature .. sniffs at her? Is it trying to determine if she's prey or predator? That would be a logical step for an.. animal to take.
She turns slowly while it's sniffing her, and puts her hand to the top of the nose in a light gesture; a simple pat of sorts. It's not demeaning, endearing, or anything else since her current demeanor is mostly indifferent. It's just something of a welcoming gesture. Her armored gauntlets protect her hands and some of her arms, but that mouth is big enough to take much more than that into its mouth.
Although Saber displays only confidence, her feet are planted so that she can jump away if need be. She's not ignorant, and knows how to deal with wild animals. This is no animal, but it has the mannerisms of one.
i want to call this a him, or is it strictly an it?*
