No worries! :3
The idea of a living city - not a crumbling, broken remnant of one - would have been novel to Melee as well. She was someone born to the open sky, the forests and the fields. To live somewhere devoid of such things would have been depressing for the young wolf. It would have felt confined. This was another way in which the two females were different. Not that Melee was aware of that, since she had no way of knowing where the jackayote had come from. Nothing except that the other female was strange. Not in a bad way, though. Just in a "you are not like me" way. Then again, Melee had never met someone who was like her in some ways. Her hand, for instance, was far from normal. Normality was overrated anyway in her opinion.
Melee was interested in the other female's name, though, it was exotic. "Good to meet you, Sa'adat." the girl replied automatically, forgetting that Sa'adat couldn't understand her. Though perhaps the other canine could, at least somewhat. Partially, she had wanted to say the name out loud. It had sounded much prettier on Sa'adat's lips, though. It sounded awkward on Melee's. At the question that came from her companion, Melee tilted her head toward the mountain's peak, considering it with bi-toned eyes before turning back to Sa'adat. "From Ichika no Ho-en... that way, yes, but not on the top." she explained, pointing with her finger at the spot where Ichika no Ho-en existed as best she could. Though she figured it was rather had to explain when she was standing there on flat ground. Well, it was the best she could do. "Where are you from?" she inquired, wondering if Sa'adat could understand her question. The Soul girl was ready to rephrase or use gestures if not.
