She gave muffled giggles towards the sudden smoosh of her muzzle, finding the change of attitude rather interesting; what a funny uncle he was! When they first met he was all behind Nanna like some kind of little critter, now he was shushing her for scarring off bugs that didn’t even scare easily! "You’re silly Lugh!" She chuckled, her gaze traveling from the boy and to the star bugs that had moved to a different patch of grass and flowers.
"I really don’t think I’m scarring them though! Look at ‘em, they’re still here aren’t they?? They didn’t move that much either!" She defended once more, however she was sure to keep her tone at a slightly lower octave to please her red uncle. "Uhm, but they do turn off..? Don’t they turn off in the morning?? I’ve never seen a starbug when the sun was out! But maybe they’re just sleepin?" She now had a new wondering thought; Did starbugs glow in their sleep and they just couldn’t see it, orrrr did they stop glowing all together? It was a curious thought, something she’d be sure to ask her mother when seeing her next.
Her thoughts were soon interrupted with the calling of her name, and without hesitation she padded forward, her head lightly bumping against the others whilst looking at the glowing beetle between his paws. "You did it, Lugh!!" She chimed loudly, her ears perked and her eyes wide. 'Why d’ye think they glow like this…?' A question she’d thought about in spurts before, though during such times she had come up with the answer. "I think this is how they talk! I thinkkkk when they blink it’s like ‘How are you?’ Or or, ‘I’m sad..’ or even ‘Let’s go here’ yknow? Everything has to have a way of talking to each other right?" She explained lightly, her ears twitching with the breeze and her tail happily wagging from side to side. "It’d be pretty lonely if they couldn’t tell each other how their day was!"
She could only imagine not being able to talk to anyone, how would her family know she was thinking about them? Or what if she had something important to say and no one could hear it?? The absolute horror of not being able to even ask her questions freely would probably eat her alive..
