Parvus: He yawns and stretches out his front and hind legs, flexing his claws. He draws his limbs back toward himself and stares up at Tseth, chittering.

Salmook: he tilts his head at Alex's answer. "A… pra- …a prarie? What's that?"

Rhiv: he… might have heard the word before. he's got a vague idea of what a "prarie" is, but he'd prefer not to make a fool out of himself. he keeps himself quiet, eyeing Parvus in wary confusion.

Alex: He stares at Salmook, confused. "It's uh… a sunny place with a lot of grass and flowers. Not very many trees, and mostly flat.

Tseth: He looks at Parvus. "What?"

Parvus: He blinks a few times at Tseth then playfully bats at him, being careful not to scratch him.
Resh: He doesn’t look back at the group as he speaks. “Huh… that’s weird, our world works the same way. Except the forest connects to the valley, but it’s the same concept.”

Salmook: he brightens a little, happy to talk about his homeland.
"At home - at my home - the forest goes to… if you go different ways it goes- uh…" he blanks, but he's still in a better mood.

Rhiv: he glances at Salmook nervously. should they really be giving strangers this information? he exhales slowly.
"There's more than one forest at home, but they all just lead to more snow. And angry locals, I suppose."

Tseth: He waves a finger of his metal hand in front of Parvus. He glances over at Resh for a moment. "Some locals call the place valley… translation differences from basic."

Alex: He nods at Rhiv and Salmook's response. "Interesting."

Up ahead, a bush rustles for a few moments, before a large black cat jumps out onto the path. It looks at the group for a few moments, cautiously.

Parvus: He squawks at Tseth, then stares at his finger, his pupils dilated. He flares out his wings and grabs it with his front talons, looking back up at Tseth.
Resh: He looks down at the cat, tilting his head. “Well, hello there, little thing.”
Juni: “What’s a cat doing in the middle of a forest.”

Rhiv: he stiffens as the cat appears. is that what's been making everyone so nervous? he runs through his mental checklist for new creatures. aggressive? maybe. edible? potentially. worth it? probably not. he stands back, keeping an eye on Salmook instead. he'll let the others deal with this.

Salmook: he peers at the cat with curiosity. it's… almost like something he's seen at home. but smaller and less fluffy and less… murder-y. he stays beside his pater. "What is that thing? Is it friendly?"

The cat: It slowly takes a few steps towards Resh, eyeing him.

Alex: He stares at the cat. Is it Tseth's? "Friendly is debatable."

Tseth: He looks up from Parvus, noticing a… very familiar black cat. "What the…" He crouches down, and makes a short whistle sound to call the cat.

The cat: It perks up almost immediately, trotting towards Tseth past everyone else. It rubs against Tseth, before noticing Parvus. It stares at him curiously.

(Don't ask me how he trained his cat like a dog it's like Parvus but they've been around each other 7 years)

Parvus: He looks at the cat and jumps to the ground, staring at it. He chitters curiously, then nudges Tseth with his snout.
Juni: “Is that your cat?”

Rhiv: ah. another "friend." there's a part of Rhiv that wants to see if the cat will understand him - if his abilities aren't broken. he holds off on that for now. maybe when they aren't walking in this… admittedly hot sun. he yawns and wipes some sweat from his forehead.

Salmook: seeing his pater yawn, he yawns himself. strange. he doesn't feel tired - anything but. he watches the cat rush past him towards Tseth. he tilts his head again. "It… knows you?"

Tseth: He looks up at the group. "Ah- yeah. This is my cat. His name is uh.." He glances up at Alex, who's nearly holding back laughter. "..Alex." He pets the cat a bit.

(Cat) Alex: He accepts being pet, still staring at Parvus. He stretches out a paw at him.

Juni: She stifles a laugh at hearing the cat’s name. “There’s another one?”
Resh: “Very original.”
Parvus: He chitters at the cat, then lightly bats his paw, flicking his tail a bit.

Rhiv: Alex and… Alex? Oh, joy - that's not confusing. don't they treat their companions with a a little more respect? despite his usually reserved attitude, Rhiv is visibly rattled. he walks a little faster, too, distancing himself from Tseth's shenanigans.

Salmook: he's intrigued by Alex… and Alex, too. uh-oh, what happens if he mixes them up? "Does… does Alex - the little Alex - have any nicknames? I'm getting confused just thinking about it."

Tseth: He stands up. "Well, I didn't name him. The adoption center already had him named Alex. I thought it was funny." He stifles a laugh at Salmook struggling not to confuse them. "They're both little. But, the cat can be called Ater."

Ater: He bats at Parvus in return, as if it's a game.

(I'm trusting google translate so literal definition of Ater in Latin is black)
