Yarri just raised an eyebrow when the man talked about Shaela as a ‘cool pet’, remembering some of the fights they have been in. Where her ‘pet’ ripped a man’s throat open. But here apparently she was just a big cuddly cat. Perhaps it was for the best. Yarri didn’t want to have any problems or to draw unnecessary attention.

[i]‘Not sort of the person that usually does this? Have you looked into the mirror lately?’[/i] she thought, almost laughing. “I’m Yarri,” she said. [i]‘Why am I even talking to him?’[/i] But once she started, it was surprisingly hard to stop. “I’m not a fan of big cities, or ships for that matter. It’s just a way to get from one place to another fast enough.” [i]‘Especially when the hunters are after you.’

The truth is, she didn’t actually know what she would do when they reach Galloway. She never planned ahead much; she just hoped there would be some woods or a jungle nearby where she could get lost and just run around, hunting and hiding from people. Altough as the world became more and more civilized, this was much harder thing to do – jungles and forests slowly disappearing, every piece of land belonging to someone. And people didn’t like when someone hunted on ‘their’ land.

She was even considering asking Ethan what kind of job he is up to and if he needed some help, for a proper payment of course, when stronger blow of the wind moved his cloak away from his shoulder. Yarri had to bite her lip not to growl on the man. He was one of them! She quickly looked around, but for now they seemed to be alone on this part of the ship. For a split second, Yarri considered killing him. Just a quick move with a knife and the body would fall overboard. No one would notice. But… he was just a kid. She hated his kind, but they weren’t here after her. She decided to be as inconspicuous as possible from now on. [i]‘As if that is going to work in your case,’[/i] she laughed to herself. “I think I'm going to look for my... pet," she said.
