Hermes waited, his chicken familiar perched happily on his back. He wasn't used to this sort of errand. He felt a little unsure and nervous about it, though he knew he had no real reason to be. He had heard of a soquili asking to be guided to the nearby human village. Given that he lived among the humans and worked so closely with them, it was only natural that the job should fall upon him. Still, he was actually more used to humans than to his own kind. He definitely had never served someone as a guide before.
Kotopalla clucked on his back, knowing that he was jittery without him having to say anything. He hadn't even met the mare before. He knew her name was Emiko, that she was an ulun'suti cross, and that she was some sort of artist or entertainer. Beyond that, she was an utter mystery. He just hoped he had the meeting place right.
