Nisuness caught the woman’s look. It took her a moment to realize that the other girl had already said her name once, but she’d missed it completely. It made her feel a bit stupid to have asked again, but it seemed to her like she would have to get used to feeling silly or stupid in the city she was in. She smiled at the girl as she repeated her name, trying to appear to be paying attention. She didn’t want to annoy the other girl by asking question she already had an answer to.
The little animal crawled up to her shoulder, and moved around, trying to get comfortable. Nisuness kept as still as she could as he walked, sprawled and plopped about on her shoulder. He seemed to have found somewhere comfortable to sit as he began sniffing the side of her face. His nose tickled her skin and she hoped her wouldn’t continue sniffing her as they walked. He stopped sniffing her after a moment, making Nisuness feel thankful. He looked around, looking for somewhere else to sit or lay. Nisuness wasn’t sure how easy it would be for him to get comfortable on her small shoulders, but wasn’t going to stop him from trying. When he finally seemed comfortable, she relaxed her shoulders, looking at him. She grinned when she saw that he looked like a fur.
Nisuness glanced at Gabrielle as she wondered aloud about who the little animal was. She wondered who he was too. Gabrielle asked where they were going and Nisuness remembered that they would need to head out fast. She didn’t want to get Gabrielle and the little animal lost with her if the streets moved. “This way,” she said, pointing at the direction she had come from. She started down the road, glancing down the way to make sure that they weren’t heading to the a dead end. The path still seemed clear.
