For a city on the smaller end, the sidewalks were surprisingly busy. Some of it was expected - people walking dogs, bringing home groceries, and so forth - but a fair amount of people seemed to be in a hurry. For what it wasn't clear. They kept their heads down and darted into buildings, only to come out a few moments later and repeat the process with the next nearest one. To anyone watching and "unaccustomed", quick whispers were shared between the walkers as they crossed paths with each other. She made an effort to nearly bump into someone walking opposite of her, whispering to them her question. "Uh, is something going on?" Their eyes went wide, and the person quickly sized Tekanni up before whispering back. "Stay inside. Just in case." And not a moment after, they'd already hustled off.

Her long, braided hair was a pastel mint color that easily could have been a dye job. She watched them walk away before continuing on with a shrug. From under her sky blue poncho she produced an electronic device she started a game of candy crush on. Head down, eyes concealed by bang, she continued watching.

The other passersby paid her no attention, and after a while of walking she had entered a less up-kept area of the city. It was easily avoided by most residents, and even the hurried people had gradually thinned in numbers by this point. The roads grew smaller as well, devolving into paths and alleys.

After more time and twists, Tekanni bumped into something and was suddenly confronted with a face full of heavy feathers. It flinched and pulled back. In front of her was a boy, messy haired and wearing a thick black sweater. He pulled his wings in close around himself. "Sorry."

She grinned suddenly. "Can I pet them? Sorry, - you must get that a lot. Oh my gosh you are so cute!"

When he spoke again his voice was still hushed. "...I guess you're new. Look, it's getting late and...and this place isn't really the best to be wandering out in. Okay?"

Everyone here should be at the circus instead! You of course know the circus is in town! - Young man, why is there a banana behind your ear?"

He backed up again and quickly his hand went up to adjust his hair and cup his right ear. "What? There...it's nothing."

"Here, I'll get it." His eyes went wide and he tensed, speaking a bit sharper now. "It's nothing......and you still shouldn't be out here."

"It's nothing......and you still shouldn't be out here." She stopped walking and smiled sadly. "Oh, you poor boy... if I shouldn't be out here, neither should you. Come to the circus, the opening show is tonight! Where are your parents? If they can't afford tickets consider it on the house. You should at least come to my show- it'll be great!"

I'm trying to help you, I......I don't have time for this..." He spread his wings and crouched a bit.
