The comforting pat was welcome, not because Musa was in any real need of comfort--it was a long time gone, after all--but just because such things were nice. As far as they could tell, civilization-people were much less... touchy... than Musa was used to. Absolutely no one wanted to cuddle, and if you wrapped your arms around someone in the bathhouse, they were alarmed.
"I have read about schools. It is like organized mass apprenticeship. We have something similar where I'm from; it is simply not called that. Is high school a... special kind of school?" Musa clarified, tilting their head. "Or is that simply what they call it in America? Why not call it America School instead?"
The age thing was more alarming than Musa had realized. Their tail flared out in surprise. "That's! Wow. That's, uh..." Their tail flicked awkwardly. They hadn't meant to bring up the subject of death so much, goodness. "So are you very young, then?" It didn't really matter; she was clearly fully growing. Age stopped mattering, basically, after you hit twenty or thirty. Although they were aware that wasn't the case for humans. Maybe society thought differently as well? It had never occurred to them to ask.
