Sly Fox Sand Dunes wandering child of the earth

S'ari had almost no trouble understanding Kusuma's words. Her own accent and speech patterns seemed strangely similar. That, and the fact that the Tribe often ran into foreign travelers trying to make it out of the desert, or those who had come there for trade. These foreigners sometimes spoke with their own strange accents or even different languages entirely, like Zoug.

The only word she didn't understand properly was "Kusuma-da," which she assumed was some kind of name-suffix, like an honorific. Yes, she said, with a grin, her tail wagging. Zoug and S'ari are like Kusuma. Coyotes must all stick together, yes? All are Tribe. Here she glanced at Zoug, to see what he had to say, which was dumb because Zoug didn't speak the same language as they did. She saw that he was digging in the sand. Zoug, she said, to get his attention. Time to go, yes? She turned back to Kusuma. You follow! Follow S'ari!

And off S'ari went, bounding happily away at top speed, unaware of how annoying she was possibly being by making the other two run to catch up. Only, she was happy to have more friends.

Last from me!
