Work For Food?

Spirit watched them leave, her mind reeling as she thought of what to do. Curious, she went outside and decided to follow on her horse. Sort of.

Nervous and unsure of whether or not she should even bother these people, she walked over to them, horse following lazily, and waved. Would they even give her the time of day? She wasn't sure, but if her pockets were any indication...she needed a job, even if it was just to get some food.

Voice stuck in her throat, she stopped by the people, but didn't come too close. If any of them responded to her wave, maybe her voice would finally dislodge itself and let her speak.
