It's always darkest before the dawn
"Hey kids, come look!"
Pengfei rose to his feet, brushing off snow and ice from his gloved hands. A number of hooded children gathered around Pengfei to marvel at his creation.
"Um," one boy began, but failed to continue.
"What is it?" A girl asked, two thin braids framing a polite smile.
"Isn't it obvious?" The hiss of his words carried in a whistle through a gap where his front tooth should have been. He gestured to several mounds of snow, lazily topped one onto the other and around it. "It's a badgermole!"
The kids looked from Pengfei's hands to the snow, silent, quite possibly in awe of his marvellous creation! "It just looks like a big ball of snow."
"Huh?" Pengfei feigned offense, earning him some giggles in turn. "But it looks just like the real thing! How would you guys even know what a badgermole looks like?! Exactly, you don't know," he stuck his tongue out, hands on his waist, only gaining more shrieks of laughter.
He only came to the Northern Tribe to get a taste of what it was like to endure the cold, the fish, maybe see what the folk here were like. Surprisingly welcoming. Though, he did find his furred coat restrictive and tough to move in. He'd have to grab a larger size next time.
"Alright, come a little closer. I'll point out what makes up a badgermole, 'kay?" He grinned, squatting and waving at the kids to come over. Once they were close enough, he started pointing. "So, they've got super long tails, and big claws..." His finger eventually moved to the mound on its back. "And a white stripe down the middle!"
Where the engraved 'white stripe' on the mound was emerged something small, red, and shrieking. The children jumped and fell back screaming, some even running away at the sight.
Trampling over the snow with his feet was a monkeyram, a red furred monkey, with black stripes extending down to a long black tail and large curved horns. In this weather, she too decided to don a similar furred coat to her companion, something that made her look stylish, but incredibly out of place. Among the screams and cries of the children, Pengfei could only laugh at the chaos that unfolded.
"Aw, man, we got them good, Cho!" He grinned as she leapt onto his arm and across his shoulders, chittering with him on the prank. He watched as most of the children fled from them, with only a few remaining. Their eyes were curious and hesitant. "Don't worry about Cho. She's a good girl, she only likes to have a little fun," Pengfei leaned down and pointed his shoulder forward, and Cho crawled closer to let the remaining kids look and pet her
One girl pet Cho's head before admitting, "Well, maybe it was funny to see the boys run off screaming like they did..."
Pengfei laughed then and rose to his feet. "See? Harmless prank, nothing more," he shrugged, though, caught a group of children in the distance, with a much taller, angrier child standing behind them.
Oh. Oh, no, that was an adult.
"Uhhhh, anyways, good seeing you kids, I gotta go bye!" Pengfei trailed off as he started to move off further into Agna Qel'a's alleyways. Not every adult appreciated Cho's and his kind of fun. So what if the kids got a little spooked by her? It wasn't meant out of badness anyway!
Pengfei slipped into the crowds of a local market, Cho hanging onto his long tangle of purplish-black hair. He could hear her coo and stamp on his back, clearly excited by what was on display in this market. "Easy, Cho," he whispered, "can't get in trouble a second time too quickly."
He sifted further through the crowd, until he spotted some woman wandering up ahead. Similar clothing to him, in a way that outed her as a tourist in this strange place.
'Can't get in trouble if you're not caught.'
Pengfei clicked his tongue. Cho slipped down from his shoulders, chittering quietly, and watched as Pengfei moved on ahead in the crowd. It was a game they played many times before, and rarely, it failed them. They just had to stick to their script, and keep seperate.
The man weaved in between interested buyers, bored locals, until he reached the woman, and walked into her.
"Oh, my apologies!" Pengfei flapped, taking her hands. "My sincerest apologies, I didn't even see you standing there and of course, there I am, walking right into you!"
While Pengfei made an extraordinarly huge deal out of a simple 'accident', Cho was beginning to move in. Her hands were sticky, and she was quick. She was sure to find something to pluck out of the woman's pockets.
