As soon as she saw the elephant, she was interested. She didn't see them often, not around here. She noticed out the corner of her eye him glance at her from a small group of Boros troops. It appeared as though an Angel was also present. Veeeeery intriguing... He's looking again! She spun to face a small tent, where a man sold copper trinkets and dried toads. She cared little for his wares, but leaned in close, to hide the true focus of her interest. She peeked again, and saw even more weirdness. LUTE? An old boyfriend, not even a boyfriend, it was like a flirty thing, stood with the Loxodon, whispering with him. She turned back to the confused shopkeeper, color draining from her cheeks.
No longer interesting. I need to leave-
"You getting sloppy? If I was still a Wojek, I'd have you in cuffs by now." She grimaced and groaned. This was exactly what she was trying to avoid. "How you been Pavy?" She took a deep, furious breath, and put on her best face. I JUST WANTED TO SEE THE LOXODON!
A wide smile filled her face, her blue eyes were wide and deep like the sea, mesmerizing, on anyone else. "Hey, Lute, I'd love to chat, but-" He carried on.
"Oh, and fair warning, Seria is around. She's my new partner, and an angel." She scoffed and slipped around him.
"Trying to make me jealous, or something? That angel doesn't care about you. None of them do. You're a bug, Lute." She took another step, before spinning back around to face him. "That was so mean. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I just gotta go. Important stuff." She rushed to hurry away, her mind desperately attempting to distract itself with promises to visit the Noodle Bar out by New Prahv. The hydra gizzard bounced on her hip. GAH! I still need corpseflowers! And lightning!
But she made a fatal mistake: she looked back.
