every day his mastery of language grows, though he still stumbles on the complex ones (including his name, which remains oke-no for now). unlike ibis he does not flaunt his vocalizations, preferring to listen to her singing or the sounds of others talking around him, and despite being awake at this time of night he stays quiet, politely refraining from disturbing his sleeping family. but still he is just a boy and it is boring, so he wriggles around the den a bit until he notices papa just outside the den and scrambles that direction, poking his tiny head out to peep, "papa! may come out? pwease?"
