~Meanwhile~
Mirv wondered the streets of Pyke in a state of wonder. He took in all the sights and sounds, far different from the village he grew up in. There were a variety of creatures, such as a blind mudokon around Mirv's age that looked greener than most...
At that instant the blind mudokon tripped over a pothole in the middle of the road and fell forward on his face with an audible "Oomph!". Most of the other pedestrians didn't give him a second look, but Mirv rushed over and helped him up.
"Are you okay?" Mirv asked, genuine concern coming over his face.
"Hmm? Oh yes. Thank you. That was very kind." Teb said thankfully.
"Oh, it was nothing. I hate to see people in pain." Mirv said inspecting the blind mudokon for wounds.
"I am very grateful. I would like to talk, but Olm sent me to find-" Teb started.
"Olm? Who'd he send you to find?" Mirv said, excited.
"Well, his patient Spider woke up and I need to get some young mudokon named Mirv-"
"That's me! I knew Olm might need me! Now let's go!" Mirv said with glee, and started off.
"Um Mirv? The mayor's house is the other way," Teb said shyly.
"Wha-Oh yeah. Of course." Mirv said and started towards the mayor's house.
What a strange person... thought Teb, and hurried to match Mirv's stride.
