[ So she's not inconveniencing her? That's a relief. Noel barely has the time to celebrate that, however, since Kainé moves past her and towards the town. The girl fumbles a little, giving a final goodbye bow to the tapir, before following Kainé, though she chooses to stay a step or two behind.
... But now she's faced with another conundrum. It's not that the town is that far away, but it's still quite a distance to cover... in silence. Walking like this without saying anything is extremely awkward. But actually saying something feels awkward, too. Noel goes through about 50 different conversation starters in her head (thankfully scrapping the idea of classics such as "do you come here often" or "have we met before"), before finally arriving at something that doesn't sound completely ridiculous. ]
Miss Kainé, um, if you don't mind me asking... what did you do before coming here?
[ Matters of occupation and employment are a staple of small talk, right? Surely this is better than saying nothing throughout their little trip back. ]
