malosi

Dawn had only begun to creep over the land when Laurel joined the throng entering the stone carved city, her wolf companion a warm presence in her mind. She had only kept him from accompanying her by promising to bring back a treat for him if he behaved himself and stayed away from people, which was “aggreeable enough to warrant compliance,” a phrase he had apparently picked up from a childhood memory of her village baba.
As she neared the gate the jovial man walking alongside her threw his hands wide making a point in an argument, knocking her to the ground in the process. She gave a dainty “Oof,” paused, and winced, moving a hand to rub her bruised behind.
The smiling man extended the hand that had carelessly thrown her from her feet to help her up. “I'm real sorry, I didn't see you. Are you alright there, miss?” She smiled as brightly as she could given the wince on her face and hesitated at his offered hand, but after seeing his look of dissapointment she accepted the lift to her feet. “It's perfectly alright, sir. No hard feelings.” She really wasn't worried about it, not being seen was both the good news and bad news of trying to be invisible, especially in a crowd such as the one walking through the stone archway.
After few more minutes, he took in her wide eyes and darting glances. “You're not from around here, are you?” He offered his hand once more, “The name's Jim. I own a farm over yonder. Actually, that's my business in the city today, I'm getting our booth at the stalls for the Full Moon Festival. The pies should be excellent this year, by the way. The berries we harvested this year are delicious, if I do say so myself. So, what brings you here, miss...?”
She had started to drift from the conversation, but his question focused her attention back on the farmer. “Oh, I'm... I'm Laurel. I'm just passing through,” she said as they passed by the guards and walked into the city. That part was easier than she'd thought it would be.
“Well, miss Laurel, if you stay for the festival tonight and tomorrow be sure to stop by my booth. I'll treat you to a meal and show you around the town for being so rude earlier,” and with a smile and a wave he was off to the stalls and she was again alone.
I didn't even get the name of the town from him.

Raven walked through the large stone arch of the human city. She looked up in awe at the stone that has grown so tall out of the ground for them to carve houses and stores into.
"Wow," she thinks. "If there were stones like this in Aton upkeep on homes would be so much less. No more sweeping leaves that fall out of your tree into your windows when it comes in for a visit." It was hard for her to leave her tree in search of her brother but she wasn't sure if she'd be going back home.
"Well, the first order of business is to find a place to sleep and wash." She said to no one at all and walked into the busy city.
