“Oh.”, Markus chuckled lightly and nodded. He gently nudged the plush on his lap -not really resembling a specific animal in particular, but having the body of a cat, more or less, but bunny ears. It was hard to describe.
“Of course you can.”, he replied with a smile, and the plush stood from Markus’ lap to instead jump over to Nox, nudging against her.
Markus was surprised to feel Nox leaning against him, but smiled softly. He didn’t mind at all, and he was glad that she trusted him to sleep. He’d wake her once they arrived in town. It would be evening by then, but not too late to go around and meet some people.
Nox woke up from the gentle nudging of Markus. She yawned and blinked at the new surroundings. It was a town she hadn’t been to before so she kept close to Markus once their horse was secure at a stable.
“Are we sleeping at an inn tonight?” She asked as they walked through.
A bed would definitely feel nice after a night on the grass but she wouldn’t protest if it wasn’t the case.
“We are.”, Markus replied with a smile and nodded. There was a little market today, which Markus led Nox to. He was sure she’d be amazed by all the difference between her homeland and his.
Everyone seemed nice, talking to each other, children running around playing and laughing. They passed two children who held their hands in front of themselves, and a wobbly image of a glowing plant was in each of theirs.
