After gratefully enjoying the best breakfast he had found in a long time, Pip stayed back for a moment to talk with the merchant some more. He learned that she was a young seller, from a makeshift city not too far from where they stood. The merchant was kind, but Pip knew that he had to be careful who he trusted, he couldn't get far off course.

He could maybe spend a little more time with her though, Pip thought. It would be fun to explore the human world just once, he just had to make sure that he got out before morning.

Of course, the girl who Pip had tried in vain to learn the name of, was more than willing to show Pip around.

He followed her on her daily route, helping her hand out bread and sandwiches to the tired, hungry travellers. It was a pleasant change from wandering alone all day, and once the girl decided to head back to her home, Pip decided to join her there too.

Walking slowly through built up streets, Pip couldn't help but wonder what he would find here.
