"No, I suppose not," Musa agreed, although in reality they weren't sure how far from home they were in the grand scheme of things. They'd wandered for a while. Boats had been involved. They had a very loose grasp of geography and wasn't one hundred percent sure where on a map they had started, exactly.
Frankly, they were more interested in the girl and her history than going into the details of their own. They already knew their own history. She was more interesting by default, and also specifically, being something very new and outside their realm of experience thus far. "Colorado... Oh! I have heard of the United States!" they said enthusiastically. They even owned a few things made there, in fact, though most of their scant possessions had been made in China, one of the few other countries Musa knew more about than their location on a globe, or locally here on one of the islands. "Is it much different there, in the United States? Is Colorado different than other places? It seems rather large."
Musa blinked tilting their head curiously. They had heard, at some point, probably when they were much younger, than humans and lynxes could interbreed, but to their knowledge, had never seen the result. She looked perfectly normal; she had a tail and everything. Oh... but no ears. Well, they didn't have ears either, and they were purebred lynx. It could have been totally unrelated; they didn't want to be presumptuous. Though they were very curious, they very well understood those were questions of a personal nature. They got annoyed enough at fielding probing questions about their own 'unusual' nature.
"I'm called Musa," they replied, remembering last minute that they'd decided to stop appending 'now' to the end of that statement, to make them sound less foreign. "What about you? What is your name?" they asked curiously. "And would you object to additional questions? I will confess to a great deal of interest."
