GETTING a SIDEKICK
Nembui was on a trail. They didn't often track criminals, but it paid the bills and they were in desperate need of raw materials to upgrade the steam engine on their ride and without it they were stuck. Just the thought of riding the glorious big hunk of metal on wheels away from these sandy plains was enough incentive to pick up the pace. 
Rustling sounded from the right. The trail didn't lead there but Nembui was too careful not to investigate. Apprehending a criminal and then being attacked by a large predator would do them no good. So they swerved and advanced slowly in a circular motion around the place from where the rustling had sounded. Whatever had made the sound suddenly came crashing forward. Nembui scrambled up a tree and glanced around furiously for what was causing the disturbance.
A scuffle was clearly taking place in the undergrowth, twigs snapped, growls and shouts sounded. Suddenly a human broke free from the bushes. The human they needed to apprehend, Nembui noted with glee. If the creature fighting finished the job for them, the reward would be even sweeter.
What flew from the bushes though, was no beast Nembui had seen before. It was orange with salmon pink with orange fur and blue wings. Most importantly, it was much smaller than Nembui had first guessed. And clearly the criminal was thinking they could overtake it, returning with a big branch and a murderous gleam in their eye.
The creature hissed and ducked, intimidated but being the brilliant diversion Nembui needed to finish their job. Nembui aimed, fired and took down the criminal with a single shot. The rubber pellet hitting right on the temple. The criminal would wake to a giant headache but by then Nembui would have them hog-tied and halfway to jail.
Jumping down, Nembui figured the creature would have fled by now. But that wasn't the case. Instead it looked up and then, much to Nembui's amazement, spoke:
"Don't trust short ears." she said with a pout.
"Don't worry, I'm taking the short ear back to town to be put in jail."
The creature, a terigon, nodded and then looked Nembui up and down.
"Might trust long ears." she added in a tentative voice.
"This long ear won't be staying much longer. I'm headed out of here."
"Can Mueyei come?"
Nembui shrugged, "Might as well, I'm Nembui."
And so the gunslinging artificer acquired a companion for the road.
