Still, despite her distractions, her father's presence wrapped all around her was a comfort. Vinati grinned up at him, her little tail wiggling with pleasure. For once, she had managed to grab and hold his attention, and for quite a while! It was rare that she had him all by herself like this, and she meant to make the most of it, even if it meant missing out on a meal and especially if it meant skipping a lesson. It wasn't that she didn't like learning, mind - just that she wanted the freedom to do as she pleased when she pleased.
"Ummm..." she hummed, her face contorting with thought. "I dunno. I see them around... most everybody, I guess. You and Momma, you both have some of them following you most of the time. Not always, sometimes they go away. Others in the herd, they have them too, sometimes. It's like.. the ghosts come and go. Maybe they have somewhere else to be, sometimes." The girl shrugged. "I've never tried to talk to them before, though. I didn't know that I could!" She beamed up at her father, proud of her accomplishment.
