Ester's tongue flicked, trying to get the taste of shadow beast out of her mouth. Link was right, this was disgusting! Well, as Chance said, they weren't going to taste like cooked Cukkoos. Regardless, she thought they would taste better than fleshy tar!<br/><br/>She hardly noticed the two talking. When she heard the word 'mating' though, her head whipped around, staring at Chance with a look on her face that was between utter shock and slight embarrassment. Of all the things he could have said in front of her father! '"Now that you mention it..." she mumbled, looking down at her legs, which were trembling quite a bit. Ester just thought it was just because she wasn't used to standing on her arms! If fur wasn't covering her face, she would be beet red. She quickly looked at her father, "Look, just because I temporarily took the form of a cougar doesn't mean that their mating seasons apply to me! That's just..... nonsense" Her words slowed and she looked at the ground, feeling very foolish.
