When the girl got close enough to touch him, Iktomi stuck his nose out and sniffed her. Her huge eyes flicked to him, a nervous smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She looked as though she wanted to laugh, but held back on it with great difficulty.
If Enth didn't know her, there was little chance she knew him. And Iktomi certainly didn't recognize her. Why had she followed them out here in the dark, where even the most bravest of children held their deep fears? And would Enth want to eat her?
The cat looked to Enth, noting his relaxed posture. Well, somewhat relaxed, excluding the on-the-lookout appearance. He didn't look hungry, if anything.
"Do you need something?" he finally asked, looking at the girl directly. He tried not to look too frightening, as far as big cats with glowing eyes went. He looked downright cuddly next to one such as Enth. But the girl only acknowledged his question with a blink before crawling toward Enth and wrapping her tiny arms around one of his legs.
