Kala moved forward carefully, following his lead.  He seemed to be thinking of something and for a moment, she wished she knew what was going on in his head.  She could still feel that pull towards him, even as she continued to keep her front up, to distrust him.  It annoyed, but baffled and confused her.<br/><br/>When they reached the edge of the tracks, she could hear the whining of a small puppy before she actually saw it.  She had always had a small weakness for animals, particularly felines, though it was never something she would have ever revealed to anyone else.  Kalab's words interrupted her thoughts and her eyes flicked to his face.  His words brought a momentary frown to her face, though the expression was gone as fast as it had appeared.  Lose her?  She didn't even know him.  It still confused her that this man was so attached to her when she didn't even remember him.  As much as she had been through, she had to have known him from when Nehmahati was still around, because she could feel the pull she had for him instinctually.  Perhaps he was telling the truth, perhaps not.<br/><br/>All she knew was that something was there that she didn't understand, that she didn't have control over and it frightened her.  She watched as he moved to retrieve the small pup and she barely kept a straight face as the dog began to piss itself, narrowly missing Kalab's feet.  And then he said it reminded him of herself.  At first, she almost took insult, thinking he was making some scared human reference, but then he went on to explain that they had apparently once had a dog.<br/><br/>She was momentarily surprised at his comment that he was going to bring the dog with him.  She said nothing, though her logic kicked in, telling herself the pitiful creature would probably end up dead if it tagged along with them, with the trouble they seemed to get into.  But it was none of her buisness, it was his decision to tote the dog along.  When he offered her help up the incline, she hesitated for a moment before grabbing hold of his hand and pulling herself up.  The moment she touched his skin and made contact, she felt almost as if electricity had passed between them and she could feel the pull from him become even stronger.<br/><br/>For a long moment, she simply stared at him, unable to tear her eyes away until something, some movement or shift of energy tore her out of her trance, causing her eyes to flicker sharply away from Kalab and towards the source of what she had picked up, though she saw nothing now.
