The sun was shining brightly when Kali awoke. She glanced around and caught sight of her surroundings. She was in an unknown wagon, with a man of unknown origins driving it. They were on the road with a city or town in the horizon. There were few trees on the side of the road. Panic was starting to rising in Kali's heart, she had no clue what was going on.

From Kali's Point of View

Were am I? How did I get here! Didn't I just go to bed last night? Did I get captured by someone!? Does he know what I am!

I quietly lifted the makeshift blanket of animal skins off me, making almost no sound, my face showing no emotion. I climbed ever nearer to the man driving the cart, just about to pounce on him, break his neck, and steal his wagon to make a quick getaway, when he hit a hole in the road.

CRASH~!

The man turned and looked at me, complete surprise in his eyes. I looked into his surprised eyes and my face turned pale. He stopped the cart hurriedly, cooing a 'whoa' to the horse.

There goes that plan.

"How-, wha-," The man stuttered the origins of many questions, staring at animal ears protruding from the top of my head. They were color of russet and tipped with black.

I smiled a sheepish smile, and jumped out of his wagon with ease. "I just found these in your wagon, do you like them?"

I don't even know if I was traveling with him, or I just snuck into his warm wagon for the night. Damn amnesia!

"Those cat ears were definitely not in my inventory, and I don't remember you having them." The man stated. I attempted to hide my tail behind myself before he noticed that too.

Maybe I was travailing with him…

"Hmm… well, not to change the subject, but may I ask your name? I do not seem to recall meeting you before." I stated, a cool breeze making want to twitch my ears. I forced them to stay perfectly still, just like the fake ears he thinks I have on would.

"Yes, that is quite likely." He sighed, closing his eyes and pulling his hand through his hair.

"What do you mean?" I asked, twitching my ear while his eyes were closed.

"We met last night, and you had a bit too much wine. You pasted out on the ground." He replayed the scene to me with an 'I'm sorry' look on his face.

"I see. So you let me sleep in your wagon while you continued on your journey, I presume?" I smirked as his face showed freely that he was surprised. That means that I was correct, I smiled my pleasure in the fact.

"Yeah." He said that without the surprise his face suggested a second ago.

The wind blew again, ruffling his and my hair. You have no idea how badly my ears itched from this! The horse neighed, wanting to get on with the shortening journey to the city in front of them. The man gestured to the unoccupied seat next him, wanting me to join him. My eyes narrowed.

I could probably get to town faster if I ran, but I need to know what this man knows about me before I leave him to his own devices.

"So what was your name again?" I asked him as I slide next to him on the bench, my head tilted to the side slightly. My tail was hidden once again, along with my ears.

"John Gravel." He said with a small smile as I took my seat next to him. He snapped the reigns and yelled 'yah' to get the horse to move. The horse responded with a quick start after a snort.
