Despite declining her offer, Mei noticed the absence of any negative emotion from her sister's tone; it seemed Asteria had forgiven her, or at least set aside her displeasure towards Mei's previous actions.

Apart from appearing timid and meek, Mei wanted to limit her words for now. Why though? Well, it was a  habit of Mei's; she just believed that less talking just made situations less complicated.

Continuously taking mouthfuls of lizard meat, some obviously being pocketed within her cheeks, Mei simply smiled, mumbled, and noded in response to Asteria's plans.

[I][Color=#C9A281]"Decisive, flexible, and pragmatic. Definitely traits of a leader."[/Color][/I] Mei unconsciously chuckled at her thoughts while she enjoyed her dinner. However, it was still too early though for whatever it was Mei was planning.

Slowly turning to their Mother, making sure not to startle her in any way, Mei tried to get her attention and relay her sister's plans of returning back home. With her nose, she pointed at the bodies of the dead lizards then gestured to pick them up with their mouths before swinging her head towards the direction of the underground nest they had came from. All the while, Mei simultaneously snuck in instructions in between her actions to somehow aid her in explaining.

[Color=#C9A281]"WE. GET. LIZARDS?"[/Color] and [Color=#C9A281]"THEN. WE GO BACK HOME?"[/Color] were the phrases Mei continued to repeat. Hopefully, her efforts wouldn't be wasted. Normally, she wouldn't bother but after receiving the system messages, she wondered if other creatures, specifically those were native from this world, could also gain skills like them. If so, their mother being able to learn their language might have been possible.
