[Not strange. How rare is a phrase like that when they're talking to someone for the first time? There's a procedure, usually. Apologies, reassurances, and usually explanations. Ha ha, no, it's okay, lots of people assume that. Honest mistake, I know you meant well! People don't meet folks who look like me very often, of course it's a bit unexpected for you. And so many people are so nice about it, once they're over the surprise. Curious, welcoming, really friendly, eager to make accommodations for the shell too big to fit into an armchair, the frame too solid to squeeze through a doorway, the body too armored and heavy for a cheap inn bed.
But "not strange," right off the bat?]
That's very kind of you. Sometimes... it's nice to not be a novelty, you know?
