You smile at her response. Not only can she help you, she's also willing to do so. Clearly, it was a good idea to approach her for help.
"Good," you say. "How, though?"
"Well, I've heard of metal birds coming to this planet before. Most of them just show up then go away without doing much, as far as I know. But once, a member of my tribe caught one in her paws, and found a tiny creature inside, that looked kind of like you. It was friendly, but most of the tribespeople considered it prey. A fewof the tribespeople, though, wanted to help it, and discovered that there were crystals on this planet that could power the creature's metal bird. This was all when I was very young, though, so I don't know the details... but from what I understand, if we can find some of those crystals, you might be able to leave here."
You nod, taking in Lisnaca's story. "Alright... Do you know where any of those crystals might be?"
Unfortunately, the catgirl shakes her head, and you sigh. "Some of my tribespeople might know, though," Lisnaca offers. "I could go there and see if any of them do."
You're about to ask her to do so, but then remember you're tiny and on a planet inhabited by giant cat people that could easily eat you. You're no coward, but you'd rather not be alone here any more than you have to.
"Actually, I think I'd prefer if I stay with you... from what I can tell, you're one of not very many of your kind who won't try to kill me. I could probably hide on my own here until you return, but I could get found by someone... less helpful than you."
"Right, but if you come with me, you'll be going to my village--and there's lots of people there who'd want to eat you." Lisnaca gets a fearful expression on her face as she says this, clearly concerned for your safety. You're curious why she cares so much about you, but you decide to ask her later.
"Looks like I've got to decide," you say. "Either I stay here and hide, and possibly get killed while Lisnaca's away... Or I go with her, which might be good since she can protect me, but we'd be going into a dangerous place where she might not be able to protect me at all."
