Totoka River river of time

When Amekaze gestured to the Big Water and called it "sea" and "ocean", Ptarmigan began to understand. Sea and Ocean were just names for the incredibly large lake. She still didn't understand what made this lake different from other lakes, aside from its size and taste, but perhaps some wolves thought of it differently based solely on that. The names were nonsensical to the female who had never heard of them before, if only because they didn't appear to describe anything like normal names did.

Amekaze went on to point out that perhaps the water had swelled because of the moon's size. Ptarmigan ducked her head down, rolling her eyes at this odd assumption. It didn't make any sense. How could the moon cause flooding in a lake? It was absurd and she found that the very idea stained Amekaze's reputation. What reputable wolf would claim something so ridiculous?

“I see,” she said, feigning understanding for just a moment. She thought she'd stick around for one or two minutes longer, maybe to get some more amusing science out of this stranger. “What makes you think the moon does it?” she asked, while simultaneously thinking, you're insane.
