If anything she'd been taught to be a good listener by her parents, and she demonstrated that now with wide, attentive eyes as Corbie answered her questions. Though the finer intricacies of the explanation were lost on her some of it made sense. They ate what they needed, without hurting the whole group, without making them suffer. That was good - suffering didn't sound nice at all. The group getting too big meant they wouldn't have enough food, which she understood by thinking about how if she had more siblings than she did now (which felt like a whole let), she might have less to eat too. "Wow. That sounds..." Her little brain struggled to find the word. Complicated, and a little outside of her realm of understanding, but she supposed that was why Corbie was the leader of Avalon and she was just a kid.

"Cool!" she concluded finally, finding no better word for it. "Thanks for teaching me," she added, beaming widely from ear to ear as her tail swayed back and forth, happy for some adult company besides her parents. It felt extra special!
