"Poser," she repeated, tasting the calling on her tongue for a moment before commenting with amusement, "An interesting name. Was it your name from birth, or one you took later in life, if you don't mind my asking?"

Lifting her muzzle skyward to stretch out the muscles of her neck before yawning and sitting up a little higher, Razi would reply, "Mh, nothing terribly special today. Just exploring, getting a little better lay of the land. Or, I was doing that before I decided it might be fun to sit up here."
