In the least malicious way possible, Kala did not care about Kimera rambling and oversharing. It did as any half-mute creature liked to do; it listened instead, silent, ears flicking quietly.
It had no concept of what the wilds were versus what living in comfort was supposed to be, and it decided it did not care to know, either. When it did speak it was to correct-- they was not what it had meant. "The skin," it rumbled, drawing the last syllable out for no reason. "Not... the feathers. Skin... rots."
Briefly, it stretched, readjusting its body, getting comfortable in the mud. It only had the vaguest idea of what a father was and that Kala themselves did not have one, and it had an even vaguer idea of what 'settling down' was, which was what Kala was doing-- relaxing, almost napping.
And it knew that Kimera was definitely doing whatever the opposite of that was as it watched her pace back and forth. The feeling of curiosity finally found itself prickling down the kaiju's back. "Why are you... moving?" Surely, she was wasting energy she could be using for hunting?
Then, a new concept. Fun. It had no idea what the fuck this was supposed to mean.
Its mind twisted this word-- this whole sentence --through its mind for a while. It tried to grasp the definition through the words around it, but 'fun' was not 'survival.'
Unless it could be.
"I hunt," it said. "I... swim. And I sleep." This was, in essence, an exact list of everything it did-- all of it was for the sake of survival. Surely, there was something fun to be found in there.
