Nums

Lizzy grinned as she and Night began walking again. Meeko was staring up at her rom his spot in her hands, looking as if he wanted something. She giggled and lifted him up onto her shoulder then held him there until he gained some balance. She noticed Night looking down at her as she did so. Smiling, she looked at him then back at the small lizard, making sure he was settled.

Meeko was nuzzling the side of her neck, looking like he was right at home. He sniffed her hair for a few moments before finally looking about to survey his surroundings. He chirped a few times in excitement when a large butterfly fluttered past. This time Night chuckled in amusement watching the little guy wiggle in excitement on his new found perch.

"So..." Lizzy said after about ten minutes of silent walking; Meeko being the only one to make any sound. "What should we look for to eat? Some of these fruits look... a little scary to say the least."

Night was looking around, already considering the exact thing she has spoken. He saw a bunch of different things, but he thought many of them looked too dangerous to attempt to eat. Lizzy noticed the look on his face and laughed. "You know... All of these fruit look scary, but I'm still curious to try one. I mean.. We just got Meeko out of one of the scarier ones." She walked over to the nearest tree and plucked a small white apple shaped fruit from the ground and walked back over to Night.

She raised an eyebrow when Meeko leaned forward to sniff it and chirped happily. Taking this as confirmation, she patted the little guy on the head and took a huge bite. She grinned at the look on Night's face, but she just started walking again while munching on the fruit, lifting her hand to let Meeko share a few nibbles here and there.
