"If you like, but I can walk. There might be a time I need to be carried!" Not that Saash liked thinking about that, but it was true enough. It wasn't as if the mission hadn't been dangerous--she was lucky that she was a cat and seemed mostly to be ignored in that situation. She was well aware that others had not been so fortunate.

"Though if I get tired I'll let you know...until then, shall we?" Ooh. A dog! Well, even they had their good points. They weren't often friends, but Saash had polite wizardly courtesy for them all, in her time. "I've found most dogs are easy to read. We're a bit more inscrutable, as non-humans go." But there was definite amusement in her voice.
