Reed, with all of her excitement and entheuiasm, had been shushed by the small canid and at such an action, she fell silent. Oh. Maybe it was something really dangerous and this had suddenly turned into a stealth mission! At his signal, she hushed herself and lowered herself down into a crouched sneak. Her green eyes remained on Eon, yet were also moving around quickly to glance the area and make sure they weren't snuck up on.
Suddenly there was a loud screech and her head twisted to look upwards. Above them was a strange looking creature with large round eyes, rounded ears, and creepily long fingers (or were they claws?) Reed froze in place as the creature stared downwards at them (specifically Eon). There she waited holding her breath, not even daring to breathe in the creature's presence. "Not a monster" Eon ensured her as the creature suddenly leapt downwards from the branch above to land atop the canid. She watched at the way the creature's toes (seriously, are they toes or claws???) curled around his body and she shuddered at the thought of how it might feel. She exhaled as he said "but a friend".
She stood up from her crouch to stare at the strange creature. Had she ever seen one before? If she had, she'd never given it much of a thought, and she'd certainly never seen it up close like this, at least not that she could remember. As it reached out to sniff at her, she leaned forward to also sniff at it, not daring to get too close despite Eon's assurance. The way it sat upon Eon's back, the way they had stared at one another before, something itched inside her mind. The more she thought about it, the more it itched. "What's it called?" she asked Eon to try and distract herself from the itch that pestered her. "I mean, uh, what is it and does it have a name?" She sniffed at it again once more, "Strange creature to call a friend."
