Seaside Moors why did i call again,

Whether or not Chacal was aware that she was doing what she was doing, she didn't seem to show any signs that she was surprised by her own vocalizations, as she had been moments ago. However, once the song finished, she slipped back into her silent, but content realm, and looked up at her mother's praise with a soft smile, tail wriggling against her hip. She understood what her mother had told her- but she did not feel obliged to answer with words. It simply didn't occur to her to use them the way the rest of her family did. 

She leaned against her mother's side gently, and tilted her head back again, leaning the side of her muzzle into the fur of her mother's shoulder and gazing up at her with half-closed, loving eyes. She huffed a soft sigh, and licked her lips slightly, blinking slowly as a cat might when it is happy.
