From the corner of his eye (ATTN: Yildun)

"Really?" Koontz queried. "I heard that white is actually all the colors combined and that black is the absence of color," she countered him amiably, shrugging because it didn't much matter to her in the end. "But, yes, adding white can make another color paler... and adding any two colors together makes a separate, third color. There's an infinite number of shades and hues. Your eyes, by the way, are the color of a pearl," she told him softly. "I found one once, when I lived by the sea."

The Alpha female pondered what to say about being judged. She didn't want to say nothing. Before she could think of something appropriate, Yildun suddenly blurted out that he could hunt. She was momentarily glad that he couldn't see her, because she involuntarily shot him an incredulous look. Her eyebrows then lifted wonderingly and she bit her tongue from blurting the obvious question: how?

"I'd like that. I'd like to see you in action," she said, truthful but thankfully not blunt. She paused, then added, "Yildun, would you like to tell me more about your father? You've mentioned him a few times now. I can sense that he was important to you and that losing him was very hard. I can't even imagine. I feel like maybe you could use someone to talk to about him, though if you'd rather not, I understand," Koontz finished.
