 "Step, step, over this branch, step step step, oops! Tripped there... Step, step..." words tumbled almost unconsciously, the Kiokote babbled on, repeating everything he did. It was a habit he had, though he could not remember if it was a good one or not, repeating things. He was trying to find his way back. Back to what? He couldn't remember. The habit only worked half the time, or at least he thought so. Where was he? Trees and mud and wet. Swamp? How'd he get to the swamp? Or had he always been here? Gah, this was confusing. Think Twice paused, looking around. "Trees, mud and wet, anything else? Noises, birds and bugs and water and things. Smells? Wet, lots of wet, greens, yes... Kin? Yes, yes, I smell a kin! Good? Bad? I wonder..." And so Lost trotted off down the bank, muttering, trying not to forget and failing.

 Dog was so proud. Why? Well he didn't really need a reason to feel pride in himself or others, but he was quite proud of his adopted Acha. The boy had found his own legs and left for his own life. So while he now had an 'empty nest' as it were, Dog was very happy. Now, Dog wasn't the most agile, nor the quietest of kin in the swamp, so he made a lot of noise as he splashed through the waters. He couldn't roll around and do a dust bath in the swamp, and that was a little disheartening, but he found that jumping in puddles to see how big of a splash he could make just as fun. (And rolling in the mud or against smelly things was pretty good too.) So with the noise he was making it was no surprise he didn't hear the other kin narrating to himself. But Dog could have been paying more attention as he leaped over a log and nearly bowled into a marsh-green kio. A kio! There was another kio in the swamp! Never mind apologizing for his antics, Dog's tail started to move in an almost circular motion to convey his glee to see another plains-kin. "Why hello there!"

"Wahh! Don't fall! Catch!" Lost yelped as he stumbled backward and tripped over a root. The catch didn't work, however, and over the kio went, legs in the air, "Woops! Fell over. Very wet, smells odd. Kin!" His head turned to look up at the tail-wagging kio, and with a bright smile, he said, "Hello, kin!" His yellow eyes scanned the new found friend and more words tumbled out of his mouth, "Brown, tan, creamy, running colors, happy tail, dark eyes, happy, friend?"
