Strange places, stranger people

NOAH

Noah walked in silence as he led the stranger towards the Citadel. He moved with purpose across the Tundra, knowing that getting him to safety and warmth was of the utmost importance. Once they crossed the gates of the Citadel, Noah shifted back to his human form from his lynx form. He kept silent and waited for Sah to break it with any questions that the stranger might have. Finally, he did, and Noah stopped for a moment to answer.

"This is Halo." the hunter gestured to all of the Citadel. It's people, its animals, its buildings. "More specifically, this is the citadel. This is where all Halovian citizens reside. This is the only place of safety and warmth in the region. I suggest getting some warmer clothes to get you set up." He started walking again, this time towards the stretch of shops. From one brightly lit building one could see hundreds of garments and furs hanging around. Noah entered the shop.

He was greeted by a small, hardy woman with a high-pitched, excited voice. "NOAH! Oh dear, how are ya? You look healthy. What can I do for ya!?" she exclaimed, all but pinching the hunter's cheek. He smiled at her, broadly. "Found this newcomer on the mountain. He could use a Halo-worthy wardrobe."
