A cute cat.

You: No wonder cat-style amulets can be seen in the streets around here.

Is this cat yours?

You: Do you own this cat?

Young Woman A: No, it's a stray cat here. My sister and I often come over to feed it.

You: You are taking good care of it.

Young Woman B: Not only us, but the residents around all often come to feed it too.

Young Woman A: Because our people in Khaimit believe that cats are the embodiment of the god, we all treat kitties very with great respect and kindness.

You: I have noticed, there are really a lot of kittens on the streets of Mien.

You: (It sounds even more familiar to me, I seem to... remind of someone...)

You: So is he still around the oasis?

Camel Owner: Someone saw him heading further into the desert before. I'm not sure if he has come back.
