PLEASE LOCK OR SOMEBODY TAKE OVER: The Creatures of the Moon

[Meroei]

"Um, not exactly," Lirisa said slowly. "i don't really know how to describe it..." She thought for a while, unconsciously biting her lip.

[Kawiku1]

"Hmmm." The moon wolf suddenly hummed out, only to suddenly add," Maybe visuals might help?" Maura then asked, wondering if seeing an example of such could possibly help him understand more about 'fantasy.'

[Meroei]

Lirisa jumped up, grinning. "Of course!" she exclaimed. "I have some books back at my house. Come on!" She found the "door" of the cave, walking swiftly outside. The girl paused for a few moments out in the open air, letting her eyes adjust to the light while also trying to remember which way her house was. "I think I see it..." she murmured to herself, striding off in that direction.

[Kawiku1]

"Books.." Maura said to himself, still sitting down as Lirisa dashed to the door, only to stand up and follow the fur less biped, only to be greeted with sunlight that the wolf nearly hissed to, forgetting that he was stepping outside, but decided not to emit sounds made by felines. He then tilting his head towards the loud steps coming from the girl's sneakers, whom strided across the path she claims to lead back home. He merely followed, striding in a quick manner which soon lead him to Lirisa's side, only to ask," How do books have visuals exactly, if that is alright to ask." Still wondering how the flimsy pieces of wood be of use when learning something as complicated as fantasy.

[Meroei]

Lirisa turned her head to answer him, not slowing down. "People can draw pictures in them," she answered, smiling. Her smile quickly turned wary, however. "You do know what pictures are, right?"

[Kawiku1]

"I know what they are, and I think I've seen a few, but never saw much of these 'pictures.' Maybe there's a few at the dump? I think it's what you bipeds call 'paintings.' There's quite a couple that often mimic nature's beauty, other times the paintings seems to foretell what our imagination and minds consider abstract. I actually enjoy those kinds. They are often so lively, so unreal." Maura then said, nearly grinning at the thought of those strange canvasses of 'pictures.' 'So that is what those things are called. 'Pictures.''

[Meroei]

Lirisa smiled at him, nodding. "I do too," she said. "And yes, the pictures in books are like paintings." She grinned as they reached the front door of her house, slowly opening the door. "All clear," she whispered to Maura, running towards the staircase. She smiled to herself as she hurried up the stairs, secretly enjoying the likeness to a spy movie or book. She had never really snuck around or in and out of her house before, so it was a new--and interesting--experience.
With a quick glance to make sure Maura was behind her, Lirisa opened the door to her bedroom. Part of a wall was covered by a large bookshelf, chock full of books. She had other books too, of course: these were just her favorites. Lirisa started to skim through the titles, looking for a good representation of what "fantasy" was.

[Kawiku1]

He flickered his ear at the 'all clear' before making his way up the stairs himself only to almost be awed at the room. Unlike the biped's maternal parent's nest, whom's shelter was quite drab, this room was filled with books. He carefully tilted his head over at the books, sniffing them before pulling his head back, finding the smell quite strange, before shoving his head back into the flimsy wood, strangely enjoying the smell of literature. He then started scanning across the titles, quite enhanced with being confronted with such strange inscriptions he's never seen before, yet understand the language quite fluently, due to his special ability.

[Meroei]

Lirisa chuckled quietly as she noticed Maura studying her books. "Do you like them?" she asked, her arms already laden with three or four fantasy examples. "Here." She set down the books, kneeling down and opening them. One of the books she had chosen was a thin, hardback one: she showed Maura the many colorful pictures littering its insides. The other books were thicker, more to show the typical story line and plot of a fantasy book.

"Up to a point, their scent is quite interesting as well." The moon wolf murmured just loud enough to reach the hairless biped's ears, only to flick his ears at the next comment that uttered out the human's lips. Flicking his ear, he kneeled down to examine the pictures, fascinated at how the pictures visualizes out the words, only to lift his head at the same level of Lirisa's head and shifted one of his forepaws to point at an interesting picture whom Maura interpreted as 'Red Riding Hood," Why does this female wear such a bright colored cloak in a dark dreary forest? Wouldn't she easily fall prey to any forest creatures interested for a meal?"
