Hey you! Pap's attention snapped toward the shout, downing another swallow of the flask's content as she allowed the stranger to get a bit closer than shouting distance, capping the container and clipping it to her belt once more. In the time it took she managed to squeeze a few side-bends in, flashing the rather demanding, rather loud stranger a bright grin. "Yeah? Me?" Her pleasant chirp was a dramatic contrast to the barking demands that he doled out readily, evidently not all that bothered by being spoken as though she were some sort of masochistic city information operator.
Being not all that bothered didn't help make her miraculously competent as a navigator, however as she cheerfully informed him that she did not, in fact, know the way. "Couldn't tell you. Haven't even seen it - did see a couple of teeny people with wings, however. They have a sign and everything - something about a contest." She slid down from her perch, squinting as a dusty gale smacked her square in the face and vanished again. Smearing the back of her hand across her eyes, Papillion trotted up to him not unlike a very friendly stray dog, jingling with each bounce step.
"What's its name, anyway? Is it even a town? I mean looking at this place..." It was kinda bad, if she was being honest - Pap trailed off, drawing to a halt several arms length out of reach but at a distance still a bit too familiar for a stranger to be approaching someone like Eli at. "I mean, it's quaint. Needs a bit of paint... maybe a demolition team."
