The small white cat jumped out of the water straight onto the docks of Arunin. Nya has been tracking the coastline for quite some time now and this was the third or fourth major town she ran into, the towns helped her to find out that Humans use creatures similar to Markava as pets, as well as provide useful insight into the two-legs language, as the one she's been taught was very... outdated. This town was lively, but not much different from the other towns she's seen. The very word "town" was confusing and hard to pronounce though, there was no equivalent for it in the Markavian language and because of this Nya had to use the two-legs word even when thinking, it meant something like "A place where a lot of people live" and the closest thing to it would be a Group. Two-legs Groups however, for some reason. didn't move. There were quite a lot more strange things about two-legs, she was confused why they grew plants around their cities until she realized they can eat such things, They also burn their food before eating it, a thing they called "cooking", there were a lot more oddities about two-legged creatures, but there were too many to mention. In any case Nya headed down the dock, getting a fish or two from the fishermen who mistook her for one of their pet animals, she gratefully ate the fish, of course, it would be rude to do otherwise. She quickly made her way into the actual town, as usual it was bustling with activity, however the two-legs left her alone so long as she didn't try to communicate with them. She knew very well where she was headed, a two-legs, a member the species that call themselves Humans, taught her a lot about their culture and told her, amongst other things, that if one wants to learn about a town, its people or general happenings, he should head to a tavern. Of course Nya couldn't quite read the Human language yet, the letters were far too rigid and separated, so she usually used a different strategy to find taverns, follow her nose. Soon enough she did indeed find one, taverns weren't really the cleanest establishments, in fact, no Human building could compare to a Markavian Ice lair, partially because there is only ice on Austrina. The tavern smelled somehow sour, it was a weird and unknown smell, but Nya has met with so many new smells in the past few weeks that it was hard to believe, the cat-like creature jumped onto the window board, and then inside, running over to the counter and jumping on one of the tall chairs. She then put her paws on the counter and asked the bartender. "Herrrrrrro~ Human. do you serrrrve the drrrink you call milk herrre?" The waiter was quite surprised to the fact a cat just spoke in front of him, but business was business. "... Its not on the menu, but sure, if you have the money." Money was another of the terms Nya had to grasp when she arrived in the two-leg lands, they rarely shared anything and always required something in return for food or services, usually favors, goods or... money. Nya did in fact have some of the local currency, however due to a lack of pockets she usually kept it shrunk to minimal size somewhere within her fur, she now retrieved one of these hidden coins, returning it to natural size in the process, and put it on the table. The bartender picked up the coin, looked at it for some time, but then shrugged and put it together with the rest of his earnings. He then went into the back room, which Nya presumed was a kitchen., and returned with milk. Milk was a delicacy in Austrina, it was incredibly hard to milk a seal, however here it was ridiculously common, Nya yet had to find out how or why, since she didn't see any seals. The cat jumped on the counter, causing the bartender to give her a sour look, Humans didn't like pets jumping on their desks, and started drinking the milk out of the provided cup. She also took time to examine the people in the tavern, they were mostly ordinary folk, but she could see few of those people with weird scents, adventurers, two-legs called them, people who travel around the world, searching for riches or maybe something else. How similar to what she is doing now...
