He was too focused on weaving his way through the crowd to notice the one person trailing him silently from behind. But all it took was that short lapse in his concentration and stumbling step for his pursuer to have an opening. N'klas took the strike to the back of the neck before he even realized the Hyur was there. It wasn't strong enough to drop him entirely, but the boy was stunned a moment and stumbled forward again, hand reaching out for a nearby wall to steady himself.
The Miqo'te was not smiling. He turned back towards the Hyur, ears flattened and his tail puffed up in an aggressive manner. And strangest of all was the glow from his ring , surrounding the emblazoned symbol etched into the gem's surface. It drew its power instinctively from N'klas , sensing the young Miqo'te's heightened emotions and the attack. A swirl of energy and there before him was his familiar, with a gem embedded into its forehead, head lowered, back arched, and tails just as puffed up as its young charge's.
As far as N'klas was concerned, he needed nobody else. It had been just he and Carbuncle for years now. He wandered from place to place, stealing more often than not just to get by. Limsa Lominsa was only his most recent stop in a long and unending journey that went nowhere at all.
