Steel smiled warmly at the woman as she gulped greedily from her drinking skin. It was a mixture of relief and good natured assurance. Most people new to Ul'dah had heard stories of the sun, but if one hadn't experienced it themselves at length, then they would never fully comprehend. Let alone doing adventurer's work.
"You're most welcome. By th'by, name's Sthalwilf Haemrstymmwyn....or just Steel Wolf if it'd suit your jaw easier." She chuckled a bit, feeling the behemoth calm beneath her touch. The ruse of being its current owner was easy enough to play when it was calmed as it was, but at the same time her mind was racing with what to do next. Surely it was someone's pet, and an exceedingly rare one at that. One of the more well-to-do's fanciful thing? Would it have been missed? And who would have brought such a potentially expensive...or potentially delicious...creature to a place like Ul'dah, where the winds of commerce swept up practically everything that wasn't tied down?
She was diverted by the Hyur's soothing words to the baby...the beast's response of a derisive snort...and then, its BASEjump from her shoulder, on to the stone street, and another high-tail run towards the lift further down the Ruby Road Exchange.
"By the hells...GET BACK HERE!"
Steel stumbled forward in a scrabbling four-limb start as the porker hauled ham towards the lift doors. The weight of her armor and her tight limbs from last night's personal festivities bogged her down and gave the beast a far too good headstart. Plus, the bloody little thing was fast.
OOC: Sorry for the delayed response here...work ate meh. ;-;[/
