Setting off down the aisle of the merchants, Ursa doesn't notice Erik slip away. Immersed in the wonders that the merchants have to offer, she is quickly distracted by the scents of herbs. Stopping to peruse the different plants and trinkets, she thinks he is right behind her. Since he doesn't talk very much, she doesn't think to keep an eye on the taller boy. When she picks up a pretty flower encased in resin tied to a piece of leather, she turns to show it to him.
Ursa's eyes go wide when she sees that he is no longer beside her. Her lips open to call his-wait, he hadn't even given her his name yet. Furrowing her brow, she frowns and turns to set the trinket back down. How rude of her to not even ask his name! Feeling ashamed, she begins to wander the crowd to look for him. Standing on her toes, she can hardly see over the crowd. Letting out a sigh, Ursa turns to head back down the aisle, thinking that maybe he just didn't want her escort anymore. Saddened by the thought, she moves on to the next stall that has an array of feathers and other animal products used for crafting.
A few moments later, she feels a presence next to her. Turning, she sees the boy holding out a piece of maple candy that smells delicious. Her tail wags and she smiles at him before taking it. "Oh, I thought you'd left!" She says, trying to hide the fact that she was saddened by it. "Thank you, this looks yummy!" Ursa takes a lick of it before once more remembering the fact that they hadn't traded names. "Oh um, I'm Ursa! What's your name?" She turns her big lavender eyes up at him once more hoping that he'll reciprocate.
