Upon initial close-encounters with children, Cenric would essentially be "Stay calm. They can smell fear. Avoid groups, they're pack hunters. Smile with your teeth--they might remember you're an adult and have more authority than them. Don't run. They are faster than you and they will give chase. Stop panicking. Don't stop breathing."
He chills a little when the kids like him anyway and just want adventurer stories but initially it's full deer-in-headlights mode.
Also just constantly being aware he's lying to everyone around him by omission 24/7, not as good a person as people assume, and overall hardcore imposter syndrome. Plus believing to varying degrees that he is death incarnate and anyone who talks to him is doomed.
Also hey, by that point you've killed Livia so it's not like he's taken lol.
