A stranger? Oh Dear

Naiche admitted to knowing of Indigo, though it seemed as though they didn't really know one another by the sound of it. No matter. Knowing that the yellow man was part of Indy's pack put any anxieties that Rue may have had at ease. Indy was good, so the rest of his pack had to be good by extension, right? Was that how packs worked? Jeez, she didn't really know. Attention shifted back to the pangolin and Naiche said that he'd purchased the little guy from a trader. People traded other species? That didn't seem right to the girl, but she didn't want to offend her new acquaintance, so she kept her mouth shut on the matter. Still, she wished that she might one day have a little friend like that. Then she'd never be alone. She'd have someone to take care of and to take care of her. It was a wistful thought and one that she pushed away, turning her attention instead back to Naiche. Her comment on mushrooms seemed to confuse him just as it had Indy. The girl laughed softly and shrugged. "I was raised on mushrooms, plants and fish. My parents are..." she had to stop herself, brow furrowing for a moment. "were... very old. They weren't able to hunt well. We had fish traps in the river, so we were able to eat those. My mother and I collected mushrooms as often as we could. So, I rather like them." She understood why others wouldn't. She'd just found out that wolves actually ate other creatures when she spoke to Indy. "Indy ate one when I found a patch, but he didn't like them either. I doubt you would. They must taste weird in comparison to meat." She wouldn't know for sure, but Indy had said he'd stick to meat. "Thanks for talking to me, Naiche." Rue said abruptly, lowering her eyes for a moment bashfully. "I've been really lonely since being on my own. It was really nice to meet you and Pan." The girl meant it from the bottom of her heart. She wasn't meant to be alone. Though he wasn't as charismatic as Indy, Naiche was a good wolf. She could tell. "Speech" |
