Allaina followed along with the bounce in her step almost at a skip to begin with, saddly this cheerful energy began to receed as they entered the impoverished area. Allaina didn't like the way some of the people looked at her here, the smells and clothes she could have ignored easily but it felt like these people were evaluating her with their gaze, it seemed her tattoos were getting her a lot of unwanted attention too. Allaina ducked her head lower and scuttled closer to the others in the group for safety, fearing one of these strangers might make a grab for her. Allaina's only relief from this was a brief chortle when she spotted another human with a tail hole in his trousers. Her giggling had got even stronger when she realised the hole in his trousers was likely not by design. It looked ass though it had been torn in by mistake and just happened to be placed conveniently for a tail. Allaina's good mood was bought down once more when she had almost tripped due to looking the wrong way.
Allaina jumped almost a foot in the air when a voice callled out of the street rable and a female kajit practically pounced upon Kayal. Allaina had moved to interviene in the fray but withheld herself when she realised the catgirl was simply greeting Kayal as opposed to savaging him. Allaina stepped back feeling silly and observed the proceedings from where she stood. Still tuned into the words of the group Allaina's eye's began to wonder over the female kajit. She had seen few of the cat people for any longer than a passing moment in the street and, whilst she vaguely remembered them and certainly wasn't shocked by their appearance she still found herself needing to reaquaint herself with them. Allaina had no idea what Nalla was referring to when she congratulated Kayal on his work, it seemed relevent to her in someway but, besides healing her feet she could thing of no work Kayal had done upon her. Kayal seemed to resolve the issue however and Allaiana let her eyes wonder once more. Her eyes followed the tip of the woman's tail as it swished softly side to side and they looked the womans lusterous coat of fur over. For a moment Allaina wondered what it must be like to have a warm, soft coat of fur to wear, better than her tail-holed leggins no doubt, but her musings ceased as she responded to Nalla's question.
"Nice to meet you Nalla." Allaina said meekly, unsure how to talk to this new person. "I'm Allaina." She added and then, unable to resist, she asked "Can I... um..." Allaina made a stroking motion with her hands, not wanting to voice her indulgent request. "...your fur?" Allaina finished. She had asked if she might touch Nalla's fur but, now she had asked, her face burned with embarrassment and she motioned to forget the matter.
