"Okay. Hi, I'm Kota. Hi, I'm Kota," he says, giggling.

Fika giggles.

"I once knew a koala with a name like that!" 

"Ooh, a koala! Koalas are soooo fuzzy."

"Yeah!"

Oh wait, Kota isn't an amalien.

"Have you ever felt a very soft blanket?"

"Yeah, I have one, do you wanna see?"

"Yes!"

She wonders if it will be as soft as an amalien one. 

It's a fuzzy fleecy one.

"That's nice to feel but not as soft as an amalien blanket."

"Wow, really? I thought you didn't have much stuff."

"We don't but we have important things. Like really really soft blankets. And pretty stones. And glaciers."

"How do you have a glacier?"

"I sat on top of it and patted it and decorated it. And drew eyes on the side."

Fika is not sure where this memory came from but it's there!

"Whoa! What did you draw with?"

"A stick I found! It was black and sorta dirty so it showed up nice 'gainst the white."

"Wow. Was it super cold? Did you have to wear three coats?"

"I slept in a pile of seals and other friends and some times wore a very fuzzy coat but other times I just got used to be sorta numb."

"Wow! A pile of seals! They didn't bite?"

"Not after I friended them! Sorta like Amentans. They get all yelly till I'm helpful and then they're okay."

"An Amentan bit you?"

"No! Just yelled sorta like the seals bit me at first."

"Oh. And then they stop when you help them?"

"Mhm! I did some fun work for Amentans and the same for seals."

"It involved more fish for the seals so far though."

"We like fish too! Do you eat fish?"

"Yeah! Sometimes ones that are leftover after I help out seals and other animal friends. Very sometimes I eat small ones."

"Dad what's for dinner tonight?"

"Potatoes and gravy."

"Meat gravy?"

"Yeah. Your friend can have hers plain if she wants."
