Two-leggeds. Why did it have to be two-leggeds? [COMPLETE]

Characters: Spirit, random Lumens, Kit Fisto, Cloud Strife
Content: Spirit arrives outside Niflheim and is very confused, to say the least. Later, Kit meets up with him inside the city, and then Cloud meets up with Kit.
Setting: Outside Niflheim gate, later just inside it.
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: None.

Prey animals that rely on speed are naturally light sleepers, so when Spirit's night abruptly became day he kicked off into a gallop before fulling waking up. As he turned around to face any potential predators behind him, his jaw dropped open.

Spirit's homeland did not, to his knowledge, have nearly that many two-leggeds in it. And he was sure it didn't have... well, it didn't have that thing all the two-leggeds were lined up in front of. As a final confirmation that he either wasn't home or was hallucinating extremely vividly, his herd was nowhere to be seen or smelled.

There's only so much even the bravest heart can take in one go, particularly when it resides in someone whose instincts prefer flight over fight. Spirit wheeled around, away from the two-leggeds, and ran.

"I'm sure I've passed something this way..." Kit indicated with a step and a shrug. He smiled at his new companions, cheerful enough despite knowing that this could well work against him; he was certainly something strange to Cloud, judging by the reaction when he'd been seen, and a sharp smile sometimes set others off ease... Still, he considered himself to be very like anyone else, and acting on that belief to be the best demonstration of its truth.
