@RaaflingArmis smiled listening Kara recount her story, up until she began talking about her friend. Armis could relate. When asked about her own people Armis stopped for a moment.
"No, I only went into the city when necessary... But there was someone... She used to hike way out past the city. She would just keep going and going. I know because, well,"
She itches the scales at her face and there is as much of a blush as could be on a reptile.
"I followed her. And one time i saw her drop something and she didn't realize it. So when she left, I picked it up and it was this little metal humming bird necklace on a metal chain with a broken clasp. A few hours later, way after dark, she was back out there looking for it. I didn't want her to get hurt on the rocks, so I put it on an obvious spot camouflaged myself, then smashed a rock right next to it."
She giggles at the memory.
" You should have seen her face. It was so hard for me not to laugh. She picked up the necklace and I had attached a note to it, saying 'Be careful- a friend' and she looked around all confused before she left... A few days after that she came back and left another note in the same spot. I replied and... Soon we would trade letters every week. Then..."
She gets a far off look and her face gets very sad. She shakes her head and smiles at Kara.
"Then we became good friends though our letters."
