Miki scrambles around some more trying to keep his balance on the beast.
"Staying up here is almost as much effort as walking," he grumbles to himself. "Damn cow."

Snatching a quick glance at the newcomers, Miki is relieved to see they're as small as he is... he's had quite enough of ogres, thank you !

"The bakers back that way," he offers to them, raising an arm and pointing. This turns out to be a mistake he realises, as he overbalances and topples backwards off the cow, landing unceremoniously in the middle of the road.

"Unnggghhhh," he groans.
 

The armored one sitting on the pony starts laughing as Miki falls over. "Haha! Did you all see that? HAHA!" (For some reason, he seems rather dull-witted.) Betsy gives Miki a lick as she resists Lok-Nar's pulls. The cowbell continues to tinkle.

"Uh all right, the shrubbery that says it doesn't exist. We'll be on our way now," says the girl halfling, who walks by cautiously, scanning the road.

They start to move past you. The 'knight' is still laughing. Some of the soldiers keep staring at Lok-Nar's two heads.

"Not natural!" they whisper to each other.

Kadan, quiet throughout the encounter, finally mutters something underneath his breath.

"Maybe they could take our 'cow friend' off of our hands."

Kadan still seems to be a little unsettled by the creature.
 

*Lok-Nar mutters insults under his breath at being called "not natural."*

"We're more natural than you!" Nar snaps. "Yeah, and we're prettier!" Lok adds, striking a pose. The cow chooses that moment to lick Lok's face, and the zweibold sputters and tries to wipe off the grassy residue.
 

One of the halflings appears to have heard Kadan's muttered words. "And how be you to come upon this cow? Perhaps if you wanted it gone, we could take it mmm?" says one of them on horseback. Betsy looks at the haflings as they pass by.
 

Miki looks outraged.

"Find your own dinner, this ones ours!" he exclaims. Then he gets a greedy glint in his eye as a thought occurs to him. "Unless you have something that would be a worthy trade ?" he asks hopefully.
 

"Worthy means shiny!!" Taden called out, proud of himself for being so helpful. Target was ignoring him, of course, content to explore the nearby area while there was time.
 

The girl halfling with pigtails starts to speak, scanning the bushes for the voices. "How do we know you didn't ste-OUCH" She is nudged by the minstrel, who cuts in, who takes out a short sword from his pack. "We'll give you two gold coins for him!" he says to Miki, flashing a smile.
 

Miki thinks for a bit.. personally he'd be glad just to get rid of the thing, but 2 gp seems like so little, and you can't eat gold if you get hungry after all !

He fixes the halfling addressing him with an unwavering gaze and says, "This is a good cow, its worth at least 15 gold coins, surely people of your calibur can afford such a meager sum, after all..."
