I'm a leaf on the wind

The sound of a thick accent, the sort Satu had never heard before, had Satu opening her eyes in curiosity, then pushing herself up a bit so she was reclined sphinx-like on the sand instead of sprawled out like a wolf-skin rug. "Hi!" she returned brightly. "Yeah, I don't mind company!" The gold and cream girl before her might have made her feel self-conscious if Satu was interested in looking pretty, because this one definitely qualified especially compared to Satu's drab brown.

The story-teller in her had immediately perked up at the girl's accent, and Satu just had to know everything, and couldn't help the questions that tumbled like a waterfall of sound from her muzzle. "What's your name? Where are you from? I've never heard an accent like yours before! How long have you been in Alacratia? Are you going to stay? Have you had adventures? Oooh, are you an adventurer?" That last reminded her of Kili and she felt a twinge of worry, reminded that she hadn't seen him since long before the earthquake and she didn't know if he was even alive or if his adventuring had finally caught up to him.
