Roll says... 2: Answer honestly.
"Should I answer that honestly?" you ask.
Mouse laughs again and speaks approvingly. "Only if you're confident that I won't use it against you."
You glance over at Thimble, who has crouched and is making an effort to pay attention. Scat looks, for all the world, totally asleep.
"Vaguely, then," you say. "We're headed out for a caravan."
Mouse's eyes widen. "Would that be Momma's caravan?"
"Are you psychic?" you ask warily. "You keep guessing our...everything."
"You should try to not be so obvious." Mouse shuffles until she's got her feet tucked under her. "Momma's is the only one still standing on this side of the country. Who told you about her?"
"Some nomads in Derby," Thimble mumbles. Her eyes have unfocused again.
Mouse looks over at her for a minute, then says gently, "Perhaps some food will help. Are you hungry?"
Thimble nods and stands up. "I...I can hunt."
"Will you be alright alone?" you ask.
She nods again, trotting out of the enclosure before you can say anything else.
"Was she from a house?" Mouse says, once the leaves have stopped rustling. "No feral would be this affected by a body."
You sigh. "Maybe I should've made her stay home."
"She'dfollowyouanyway," Scat says. His voice is muffled due to him being curled up. He looks like a kitten at this angle. "Betterlearnaboutlifewithus."
Mouse squints and looks at you. "What did he say?"
You repeat what he said, adding, "She's still sort of caught up in tall tales and stories. It comes out when she's had a good day."
"She'll fit right in at Momma's, then," Mouse says.
Why do they call her Momma?
Are we on the right path?
How far away is the ocean?
How do you know Momma?
