A lot of the sights Kismet had seen before, or seen similar things and so it wasn't all quite so exciting and new to him. It certainly had been once though, and then the young boy had been very eager to share it all with someone and so, despite having a vague idea of how to get around the island, he was quite upbeat, certainly more so than he had been as they first met. Exploring was something he enjoyed, something that he regularly did, these games of pretend were rather strange to his odd little mind.
At his side Warja wasn't quiet for too long, questions quickly starting, firing off in such a quick succession that Kismet didn't have much time between each one. "Have you ever been this way before? Do you know what animal makes a 'RRRRRah RRRRRahwr' sound?" "I can't remember, I might have done." Nothing particularly unique had caught his attention to signify whether or not it was a new path. As for the roaring noise she attempted to mimic, he was a little confused. "I'm not sure" He responded, little slowly as he attempted to recall any recognition of the sound.
He had barely a second though as she scampered off suddenly "Have you ever seen one so shiny?" She questioned. Kismet frowned slightly and began to follow her. She was already on her way back though and dropped a beetle on the floor between them. "I ate one once - it wasn't shiny - and it scratched alllll the way down. I was afraid it might crawl back up while I slept. But I was asleep so I don't know if it did or not. Hey, if you eat it can I watch and see if it crawls out of your belly? Oh, whoa, look!"
"No!" He responded quickly. Kismet was rather appalled by her suggestion, why on earth did she think he would possibly want to eat this insect that would scratch his insides and possibly crawl back out? Plus the idea of her staring at him whilst he slept was a little off-putting as well, he wasn't sure he'd sleep very well if at all. Fortunately this strange second insect was a distraction from the beetle that had begun to crawl away from between them. He let it go and moved his attention to the weird twig bug.
"Do you think it bites?" He was a little worried she'd ask him to be a test subject once more. "I don't know, maybe you should shake it off just in case." He didn't particularly want her getting bitten either.
