Toad pointed out that Meerkat used the language even when it was totally unnecessary. She let out a light laugh. -"Yeah, it's a habit. I don't even think about it most of the time. I've been signing since before I could really talk, so it just comes naturally to me, you know?"- Her eyes flicked to Kukutux and she dipped her head, letting out another huff. Their input pleased her.

Raising her gaze, Meerkat pointed out the faint sparkling on the cave walls when she suddenly remembered it. -"Bronco called it mica, I think? Isn't it neat?"- Her eyes tracked the paler woman's movements as she sprinkled flowers around on the floor. It made the space feel more pleasant, even feminine, and Meerkat hoped Bronco wouldn't mind it.

Taking a seat on the smaller of the two furs, Meerkat said, -"Trade,"- and repeated the movements twice more, slowing them down a bit for easier comprehension. -"There's not a sign for every single word, a lot of it's—oh, what'd mom call it—consensual? Is that a word?"- She paused, eyes drifting inquisitively between the two adults, then continued, -"And when it comes to names, we have to either spell them out or create a unique name sign."-

Feeling weary, she slid forward onto her stomach, which made signing a bit harder, though she was used to it. Turning her snout toward Kukutux, she signed out, -"C-U-C-K-O-O-T-U-X."- She then turned to Toad. -"T-O-A-D or 'toad.' Usually if someone is named after an animal or object, like you and me, we come up with a different one for their name sign,"- she shared on a yawn.
