Stupid, not Dumb / Onyxkit

[Onyxdreams]

~ ☼ How did they glow, she wondered, was there fire in them? No, that would probably hurt, but she couldn't think of how else they could glow like that, and fire was red and yellow, not white like these. While her focus was mostly on the two bigger glowskers, particularly the one closest to her, the other glowing bits were also cool, but they just didn't capture her attention like the one she was focused on now. The name that she was given in turn was a strange one, it just sounded different to everything else she had heard, but he was different himself, so it made sense that his name would be too! "Ick...Ichd...." Onyx mumbled to herself, progressively butchering the name she was given worse and worse, until finally she let out a huff. "Ichy!" It was a good nickname she reasoned, short, easy to pronounce, it was perfect!

Watching intently as the glowskers bobbed and shifted as his head tilted, as they suddenly shined and pulsed, she wished that she too could have them, oh, but on her head, like horns, but glow-y! Blinking in surprise as she heard a rumble from the much larger not-cat, she slowly came to the realization that it was laughter, and her own smile brightened when he repeated the term she had made up. "Yes, glowskers!" she repeated back, wondering if maybe that was the right word for them, it was something she'd have to ask papa later, but whether or not it was, she was still going to call them glowskers. "Glowskers, really cool!" They were, they were the coolest thing she had ever seen on someone, beyond even Drift's feathers, and maybe even her own wings!
