She suddenly bounds to Setrus’ feet, and starts pawing at them. Perhaps she’s trying to help? Not sure how much she can do, but it’s probably safe to start lifting. You carefully sling him around your shoulder… and wow, he’s heavy.
But Nocta manages to get his legs onto her back, which does relieve the pressure. Maybe she’s stronger than her build suggests.
Well, you may as well get him out of the way, which will hopefully keep Nocta from causing you any trouble as well. You knock on the nearest door.
An old woman who’s a good two heads shorter than you answers. She doesn’t say anything, just looks at you quizzically.
“Sorry to bother you. Just thought this poor fellow should be kept somewhere. There’s some trouble at the hospital, so it’s not very safe to take him there right now.”
She gets a bit of an annoyed look on her face, then points at a couch inside. Yeah, that should be okay. You carry him in…
She taps her cane. You look back at her, and see her pointing at Nocta and shaking her head. No pets, huh.
“She’s not mine, she’s his. I’m not sure I can get her to stop, but I’ll try.” You glance down at Nocta. “Nocta, stay.”
And she apparently doesn’t like being told what to do, because she rears up on her hind legs and her fur puffs out. The old woman faints, and you nearly cry out in shock. You don’t know how dangerous she is, but she sure as the hells can be intimidating.
Whatever you do with Setrus, you’re pretty sure you want to find some way to either calm her down or chase her off first. Or, failing that, get out of her way.
