The head, from what you can see is no one you recognize, which can’t be a good thing. For all you know, this new walking planet could just be visiting, set to leave and take you even further from Meena! It starts moving, or maybe it never stopped. It can be hard to tell from feel alone when even a heartbeat registers on the Richter scale.
The head you see belongs to your new neigh-bor (Sorry,) a dapple grey horse with decidedly feminine features. Her hair is all short, save the white mane you can see on the back of her neck, but still easily a few miles long from your perspective.

Winifred paused to wipe her brow as she hefted yet another box out of their moving truck. “Whoo!” She breathed. Over an hour of this had left her beat, but they were only half done. Thankfully this was one of the last boxes to offload. The looked down at the box she carried, seeing “hair stuff” written poorly in sharpie on the side. “Felicity! Got more stuff for the bathroom here!” She called. When there was no answer, she snorted and took the box inside herself.
Inside the home, a crowd of moving boxes lined the hallways and filled various rooms based on their contents. Her roommate was nothing if not organized. “Felicity?” She called again, looking up the stairs. With another snort she ascended the stairs. “Yeah! One sec!” From the balcony, the yellow spotted furry body of her roommate, a leopard girl, came into view. “That more stuff for the bathroom?” She asked, sounding incredibly eager. “Here we go,” she met the horse girl halfway down the stairs and took the box from her. “Thanks Winnie,” she smiled and hurried off to organize it. Winnie smiled at her and turned around.

What brief respite you were given from the wind you utilized to run closer to the horse girls body. Based on the angle, you were roughly at her collarbone. Could be worse, though not much when you are the size of a germ. Huffing and panting, but somewhat closer to her skin, you lay down flat and just hold on, watching the blur of the outside world rushing past you.
A deafening roar, the likes of which could have shattered eardrums if the fur didn’t muffle it a little, rang out above you. Covering your ears tightly and looking up, you can see the horse girl’s mouth moving. Something about a city. Was this horse planning to attack the city?! Before you can contemplate that, your host begins moving. The loud CLIP-CLOP of her hooves on the concrete sound like deep booms to you, but they still shake the hairs all around you.
The two of you enter the house, and you take a moment to groan. They have carpet. Of course they do. No hardwood in any of the dull blur of rooms you could see. The horse roads again, but it’s the same word she used before. “Felicity?” You say aloud. Not like anyone can hear you. “Who the heck is...” you see exactly who Felicity is a moment later, as the leopard girl moves into your girls of view.
He impact of Felicity grabbing the box from your host is jarring, to put it gently. Enough to shake you loose from your perch.
