the compliment brings a flustered look to iseul as her ears airplane and she bashfully looks away from heph. the wolves from these lands seemingly had no problem flinging such compliments to others! but like water off a duck's back, iseul presses forward in her search.
heph's name was a bit strange on her tongue, but she had no problem mentally giving it a try or so. "i am iseul," she returned politely to the other woman, "from two rivers isle, back ahh– that way." with a point of her muzzle towards the inland of the wilds, she thinks of makan for a moment.
the mention of a crab excites iseul, though not for the reason heph might be assuming. it was certainly not the creature she was after in the tide pool this morning. however, it was a seemingly new word that iseul could add to her internal dictionary. finally, she had more teachers besides the poor wolves she constantly had to bother at the isle.
"not crab," she says with a shake of her head, "it uh–, looks soft. and bigger." well, a better word may have been squishy, but iseul thought herself as clever for using a newer word. besides, crabs were indeed not soft with those large shells on their backs.
and there, in the corner of her eye, she finally sees what she's been after. so the woman falls silent and begins her slink around towards the googly-eyed creature, wondering if her pounce may even be successful.

Iseul is still learning English and will frequently pause to find the right word. This often occurs with an audible 'uh' or 'ah' sound, as well as speaking a bit slower to try and avoid mistakes. Your character is welcome to notice this!
