Insomnia scratched at the cat's ears and let out a quiet meow. She smiled blissfully at the beautiful feline, and then looked up at the coyote-woman in front of her. "Inferni..." she whispered, tasting the word. It seemed like a good word, a good place. Inferni. That reminded her of something, some word she was supposed to learn as a child. Or some language. She didn't remember, she tried to put it in the past.
"It reminds me of my home because we didn't take too well to outsiders. We... Considered them unlucky." she said. It was an understatement. The people in the clan killed anyone unfamiliar and without an escort. Wholesale slaughter, and then they put the bones up on display. Though the bones weren't displayed at first, it was the torn and bloody corpses.
"There were walls in our clan. Outside the territory. Strong walls. Covered in... Bodies." the woman left it at that, allowing herself a break. Her English was one of her first languages, but not the very first she was raised saying. But the mental imagery, the memories stemming from her words made her want to almost gag. The tribe had only shown mercy once. A woman came to them, pregnant and scared. They promised to take care of her children. Once she gave birth, she was murdered. Brutally.
Stifling a shudder, Insomnia looked back at the cat. "Lots of kitties were running around in my old home. We loved kitty cats." she smiled at the feline. "What is your name, little one?" she asked him, as Armsaim wounder her way through the grasses, obviously intent on pouncing on the other cat.
