What to tell Kregare she was going to name it? Or tell him her real name? No thanks. Better switch names with the thing instead.
Astrum. My owner had considered that name for me. It means 'star' in Latin. This thing has more stars than me. Astrum answered, growling at the creature.
It scampered again, only to reappear seconds later, holding a nut. It held it out to Astrum. She stared at it, then took it from the little creature. Turning it over, she wondered what kind of nut it was. While she was doing this, Night scampered up her middle tail, and clambered onto her back. Astrum promptly shook her off. Night climbed up Astrum's tail again. Astrum shook her off, again. This happened many times. Finally, she relented, and let the Kudagitsune ride her back.
Well, I guess you can't win them all, she thought to herself, then directed the thought to Kregare.

{Sorry for the late reply! I've been kinda busy lately.}

Kregare nodded his head in assent, watching the creature carefully. So the name meant star, now did it? It was much better than his own name, in the Leebra's opinion. His name meant "warrior" in some language he couldn't remember.
He watched in asmusment as the creature -he still couldn't bring himself to refer to it by its name, Astrum- repeatedly climbed up the lucain's tail. He chuckled at her comment, gazing at the small creature. "Do you have any idea what the gender is?" he asked.

[Kestrel]

I'm guessing it's female. Astrum was pretty sure of this. Her owner wouldn't give her a male, after all. Now, do you really think there's any Mr. Wilson's around?
Most likely not. After all, the only sign of living was Night here. Astrum shook Night irritably, as the little Kudagitsune started climbing up her head. This procedure was repeated, and Night learned that the head was one place she couldn't go. So she began experimenting other places.
In the end, Night could ride Astrum's back, neck, and tails. That was it. But it was enough for the little creature to scamper back and forth on. They were both satisfied, for the moment.

The Leebra nodded his head again. "Not sure," he replied to her question. "But maybe...If we could find droppings or a feather, we might be able to track it." The chance was unlikely, since a Mr. Wilson would fly. Both of them didn't have wings, so it would be hard to track something in the air. But if they did follow the fallen feather and stuff on the ground, it could be possible. Now if only they could actually find a Mr. Wilson feather...

[Kestrel]

A feather? Or droppings? Astrum thought to herself. The only thing here is trees, leaves, flowers, and grass! And this annoying pest. she added, remembering Night, who was now attempting to clamber up onto Astrum's leg. (She had shoven her off recently.) Still, she scanned the ground.
Don't you think, since it's a bird, it would live in the forest? she asked. So to find signs that they're here we would have to go into the forest?
Without waiting for a reply, she spun around, throwing Night off her elbow, and charged into the forest.
How good it felt to be running through a forest again. The silence filled her ears. To her, that was the most glorious sound on earth. The sound of silence. Unfortunately, her paws weren't the most delicate things. Against the dry leaves covering the ground, they made a crunching sound. This completely ruined the effect of a quiet atmosphere. But it was good enough. And much to her content, Night could only run three-fourths as fast as her, and she was lagging behind.
