Jess nodded slightly, then narrowed her eyes until they were two grey slits. "How do you know my name?" She asked, then nodded in answer to the saving his life and for the asking her a question. "No problem, and go ahead."

"Nevermind that. Um... I forgot what I was going to ask." He said, blushing suddenly. He whipped his sweaty hands on his pants. "Oh. Why did you help me instead of turning me in for the reward?" He asked curiously, watching a figure coming towards them.
Moon flung himself at the figure, biting it fiercely until it turned tail and fled. Moon clambered up his pants, along his shirt, and back into the backpack, where he stared out at the streets.

Jess' eyes unnarrowed slightly as she looked at Leam. "I figured that you wouldve gone back if you wanted to," She replied bluntly, "Im not for forcing people to do what they dont want to do." She eyed Moon cautiously but said nothing more.

"Oh. You're different from the rest, you know that?" He asked absentmindedly.

Jess shrugged slightly. "I figured as much," She said, giving him a foolish smile. "But I still want to know how you know my name." She crossed her arms and eyed him cautiously.

"Moon knows you." He said, remembering that the young badger had told him so much. Moon lept from the backpack to land in her lap. He looked up at her with his big, wide eyes.

Jess eyed Moon again, tilting her head. "Really?" She asked, holding up her hands as the small creature lept on her. She nervously lowered her hands and eyed Moon. "But wait, if Moon knows me, then how do you know that he knows me?"

Moon nuzzled her hands.
"I train Badgers. I'm a Badgre, which means I can speak to them, in order to train and heal them." He informed her, wiping his hands again. He dipped his hand in the water. "Is the water safe to drink, do you think?" He asked.

Jess smiled and gently stroked the Badger behind the ear. "I see," She replied, then looked up at Leam, "Ya, Id think so, as long as you dont drink too much of it."

Moon curled up in her lap happily, purring like a cat would.
"He's small for his age." He added, dipping his hand back in and touching the water to his lips. He drank in small sips, satisfying his thirst.

Jess nodded, gently stroking the small badger. "Are you feeling alright?" She asked, "Dizzy or anything?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Leam answered politely. "I am too!" Chirped Moon, glaring at Leam. "And so is Moon." He added, rolling his eyes at him.

Jess laughed lightly, gently lifting Moon off of her lap and onto the edge of the fountain. She got to her feet and brushed off some water, ignoring the beads of mist that had fallen to her hair. "Well, maybe I should leave you two now," She offered, using her hair to block the light.

"Well, I was hoping you would stay, but you should go if you must." He said with a loud sigh. Moon looked up at her with wide, pleading eyes. "Don't leave!" He chirped. "I'll miss you." "Yes, Moon, I agree completely." He said impatiently.

Jess froze from turning away, turning back to Leam with a tilted head. "You were hoping?" She repeated, somewhat confused. She looked at Moons pleading eyes and she frowned slightly, looking back up to Leam.
