... Somehow hearing that seems a bit sad, actually. Trying to imagine what it would be like knowing she'd only live a bit longer than she was now... and to think, she hadn't even realized her dream yet! It sounds like Kion has lived a fuller life in just one year than she has in her almost full eighteen!
She considers this carefully. It's a good question, since one has to consider all the dangers people face in the real world. Being trampled by rhinos, being mugged, plague, cannibals, poisonous snakes... The list seems to just go on and on.
"Ahhhhmmm...? I'm... not really sure!"
This seems like something she should PROBABLY know, but... nope!
"Older than me, at least? If they're lucky? I don't think humans are rare at all, it's just that mother and I live away from the rest of them, for safety. She says the world is a pretty dangerous place. At least, that's how it is back home. I'm not sure about here since it looks nothing like any place I've ever heard about." She looks around for emphasis, then looks back to Kion for his explanation.
As he goes on her eyes widen, trying to picture what he's describing. "That sounds pretty amazing! But I think you're right." She smiles approvingly. "You seem really wise already to me. I'm sure your home is in good hands- um. Paws. Sorry."
Friends, that must be nice. Except, if he's like her then he came here alone. She hadn't been able to find Pascal anywhere and now the worry comes back fresh. For a moment she bites her lip, then resolves again that the only way to get answers is to look for them. Maybe she'll have a chance to make some friends of her own here before they get back? ... However THAT'S gonna happen.
"It's really nice to meet you, too, Kion. You'd kind of be the first friend I made here, if... that's alright with you?"
She offers out her hand, fully prepared to demonstrate. She hadn't even meant to put off returning the sentiment this long, but kind of got swept up in the conversation.
DERP, wow, I actually forgot she'd already introduced herself. My mistake!
