Apparently The Cat wasn't pleased with its name. It wanted to add an "Other" in there. What for?! Flavor?!? Madhukar frowned, disapproval blatant in her narrowed eyes. To further display her contempt, Madhukar focused on her shoulders and chest. The spark would WORK this time, she'd make it and it would stop embarrassing her! Her static seemed to agree, and it followed its path all the way to the finish; an uneven arc starting from her left shoulder, crossing her chest, and ending higher up on her right shoulder. "I said The Cat, no other in it. What's the other even for?"
See, Madhukar didn't understand "species". It was all much simpler for her. The only thing that differentiated creatures for her were whether they were weird (usually goopy somehow), annoying (brats), or just... nothing at all (everyone else). OR whether they were objectively just good (bugs!). She'd never registered herself as "cat" or Sniffles as "giant snake" or the wiggler as "elongated dog". She probably would've hissed at the suggestion that her species and the original bully-brat's were related. Thus her confusion about tagging on "Other" to a perfectly good, perfectly stupid name. If The Cat had wanted to name itself, then it should've just DONE that instead of bugging Madhukar about it!!
Then The Cat moved, and Madhukar's fur bristled. Her eyes were locked on the target. What was it planning to do...? Ah. Ask another question, obviously in an attempt to infuriate Madhukar further. Was The Cat asking if Madhukar's birthplace or last location was stupid, or was she wondering if the tunnel went a stupid amount of far--? Oh it was Madhukar's birthplace. An attempt at an insult. A failed attempt. "This'un goes for a bit. Leads to three places. An' the place where I came outta my rock was stupid. That's why I left it. 'Cause I'm not," Madhukar explained, matter-of-factly with an acerbic flavor to her tone. Like having a grocery list read to you by an upset lemon.
Madhukar leered at The Cat. "Whysit matter?"
