*Just fuckin. Catches it and brings it back as if the arm is a stick and the two of them are playing fetch???*

*There is an eel in a tree. How is there an eel in a tree? Why?

... The eel seems to be peoplewatching. Mostly.*

*It nods, and immediately scurries back to the couch*

{That would be ok. This is your den after all.}

{I have a sibling!}

*It nods, enthusiastically.*

{My sibling looks kind of like you! We were under the couch before! I think my sibling is still there?}

{I see I see. The genders of sibling.}

*It nods, accepting this information.*

{So the Mokou has the genders?}

*It chirps, gratefully accepting the half Ah Pull and nibbling on it. It makes sure to open its mouth in a way that looks mostly humanlike- humanpeople don't seem to like it when it fully opens its mouth.*

{A sister is like a sibling but with the genders, right?}

*It tilts its head slightly.*

*It has successfully offered something the Maybe-Mokou likes! Very good! It thinks it may have another Ah Pull, but it will wait until the Maybe-Mokou is done first.*

*It makes sure that it's able to steady the Mokou as best it can. It COULD probably carry them, but it doesn't know if the Mokou would like that right now.*

*It wiggles out from under the couch and immediately holds out its arms. The Mokou seems like they may need help to move! It can help!*

*It tilts its head for a moment before replying.*

{Followed the Mokou.}

*Its voice is a bit scratchy, but it ignores that.*

*It nods, happily. It has no idea what a tub is but it sounds good! It chirrups a confirmation.*

*It pauses, then attempts to mime the way humanpeople swim. Or the closest it can get.*

(( ooc hey just a reminder to ask before having your character do something threatening/violent to someone else's, especially if you haven't interacted with that account before. Not everyone is ok with that kind of stuff happening to their character without warning. ))

*Carefully, it floats around the New Eel, curiously. After a few circles it stops in front of the New Eel and chirps, wanting to know more about them. It can speak Eel Words! It's humanpeople words that it struggles with*

*It pushes the Ah Pull a little further out and them wiggles backwards a bit. It knows what nervous looks like, and the Maybe-Mokou looks very nervous.*

*It moves a little closer to New Eel, wanting to look at them more but not wanting to seem threatening by accident.*

*It gives a friendly chirp, and pauses. It doesn't have a water-thing with it right now... It has a round sweet thing though! It heard someone call it an ah pull? It picks up the Ah Pull from somewhere and holds it out to the Maybe Mokou*

*It makes curious chirps and chirrups in return, tilting its head this way and that. Maybe sibling will look more like this when evolved? Maybe maybe... That seems like it would be nice, for later.*

(( ooc "Can I offer you a fish in these trying times?" ))

*It tilts its head, and chirps curiously. This one seems nervous. How does it help this one? Should it get them a water-thing? It likes water-things. Tasty.*

*It rests its head against the Mokou. It isn't quite sure what they mean, but they know more time means good! Probably? They make a soft, almost-purring sound.*

*It looks closely at New Eel. New Eel looks like its sibling, a bit! This is very interesting. It moves a little closer to investigate.*

*The Mokou again? Many Mokou? It pops its head out of a shadow, looking closely at the new Mokou.*

*This is a New Eel. It is very curious about New Eel.*

*It mrrs at Mokou, gently. The Mokou does not seem very old, just tired. It does not know how humans age though, so maybe the Mokou is old? It bumps its head against them softly.*

*It isn't quite sure what Mokou means, but this IS the Mokou! It nuzzles them happily again, chirping affectionately. It likes the Mokou very much!*

*Maybe this IS the Mokou? It chrrs in approximate confirmation. It may be wrong but weirder things have happened before!*

*It chirps happily, cuddling them. This is nice!it likes this a lot.*
