Gotham was maybe a little surprised by Mati's reaction to his claim, as he was sure that she was pulling his leg. She seemed shocked that he had even said such a thing, which probably wouldn't have happened if she actually was joking with him. The boy furrowed his brows and rethought for a moment, looking back to Mister Green. Mati assured him that the little guy would sprout wings, but Gotham found that so difficult to believe. It was nothing like he had ever heard of before, and so alien sounding. Sprouting wings was not something that a creature could just up and do, it had to come out of its egg like that. Gotham would certainly need some convincing before he would accept what Mati was saying, even if she assured him firmly that what she was saying was true.
The older wolf stood up, and the boy rose from his haunches, assuming that Mati was going to somehow show him that butterflies came from caterpillars. For a moment, he dwelled on an idea that had just struck him: he had never seen a baby butterfly. Perhaps her story had just an ounce of truth in it. Brows still pushed forward over his bright eyes, he followed her as she walked around the garden. His own gaze drifted across the many leaves, looking to see if he could find any other caterpillars like Mister Green. They were a little hard to spot, because they were the same colors of the leaves. Gotham wondered if they meant to be green or if they were just lucky.
Mati stopped, and the pup peered at what she had found. She said it was the house, and he peered at it carefully. There was quite a bit of dissonance that was buzzing around in his head like static, and he struggled to get a hold on some words. "That's Mister Green's house?" Did that mean that Mister Green was going to be a butterfly soon? Was that why he was eating so much? And if so, how did he get into his little house? It looked like there were no doors, and it looked really tiny, as well, and kind of fuzzy. The boy was confused and started to feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't know who to trust - his own common sense, or this female that was older but telling him the strangest things?
