~ ☼ The issue of communication and language was still one that Onyxkit was struggling with every day. A month of learning just wasn't enough yet, to properly communicate with those who lived alongside her in her new home, much less follow a great deal of what they said. They spook much too fast, moving from word to word faster then she could currently process, leaving her spending several, long seconds, sometimes even near minutes, just trying to catch back up. There had, however, been a lot of improvement in her speech over her past month of learning, words came much easier to her then they had before, pronunciations started to feel a bit more natural as the weeks went by. She knew so many words now, but there always seemed to be more and more to learn.
The newest addition to their home hadn't been missed by the kit, in fact it was hard to miss a brand new scent just outside of camp, and a den there that hadn't existed before. With her trips outside being few and days apart, she made sure to explore and remember everything that she could, to enjoy her time where she could, and it was why it was so easy to notice the change. The inhabitant was different, something completely and entirely new, looking so much different from all of the cats and not-cats that she had seen to date. He looked like a fish, a very skinny fish that also had legs, with that long thing that fish had ('Fin, a fin!') running down his back, and big, he was big, huge, the biggest thing she had ever seen before, towering over her even laying down. Lots of bandages too, had he been hurt? That must have been why she had been smelling blood back then, it was coming from him, but that smell wasn't so strong any more. Those long whiskers he had though, the way they glowed and waved in the air, it was...pretty. Slowly slinking across the sands, the hybrid stayed crouched low to the ground, near silent in her approach, save for the occasional sound of shifting sand when her tails twitched from the cool grains they glided over. Finally closing in, she crept closer, and closer still, her aim? To get right up beside the massive creature...and bat at his strange glow-whiskers with a paw
