Lion Head Mesa Go Play With Your Blocks

Kiaxe caught the sight of a shadow passing from the throne room and gave a cursory sniff, then turned to Nazli, who she had been escorting, but the girl hushed the guardian and told her, put it from your mind. Still, Nazli knew how her caretaker felt about the two would-be strangers that had come to the palace. Nazli wasn't sure how she felt about the woman, and held some further misgivings when the sighting was reported.

Some time later, Nazli was hungry. She insisted that she could make her way to a storehouse herself; she knew these halls better than Kiaxe or Gil, and she knew there were alcoves along the way should she be in need of a rest. It was best to separate from Kiaxe from time to time so that the guard could get a break, anyway.

As she came to one such storehouse, her pace slow and stuttering, she saw a dark tuft of tail fur for a split-second as it vanished through the doorway. Um, hello. Nazli called out to them, and while she did not sound like her usual meek self outwardly, internally she felt her spirit shrink a little bit.
