You have urgent business to attend to in another town, and the short notice means that there aren't any carriages available to get you there in time. As a result, you're forced to travel on foot through the forest—it's slower, but at least you could set off without waiting. This evening, shortly before the sun sets behind the trees, you approach a clearing that looks to be a good place to set up camp for the night. There's a Puni—an intelligent slime creature—sunbathing in the clearing, and despite general and persistent tensions between your two kinds, she doesn't seem to mind you, instead choosing to stay and chat when others in her position would have fled in fear.
