Although Rich was sort of distant to everyone during his Dragon Reservation days, he'd probably have been her interpreter and guide. These days he tends to be polite/friendly to just about everybody. And he still has a soft spot for magical creatures of all sorts.
Rich says that anybody who races Unlimited brooms as close to the ragged edge as he does is in no position to judge anybody else's sanity. He wouldn't mind asking her out for dinner or something like that.
