--Really?! So adults really do that in other places too! The adults on our island often told us horror stories to keep us from going on adventures, but we often ignored 'em and did them anyway!

[A sign of her fearless spirit! It was often Ryza who was dragging her friends on wild adventures despite their protests, but they all still had fun. Nowadays, she understands that they told those stories to protect them from danger... But every hatchling must leave the nest. As Troy continues to speak more about the Kataw, her expression hardens as she thinks more about what she knows about the Philuscha...]

Uh... Whenever you put things like that, those Kataw creatures really do share mannerisms like the Philuscha. They're monsters that come from another world and sap away the environment like insects and kill anyone in their way... I have a friend who was a victim of their assaults and her home was plundered and ravaged by them!

[There was a bit of anger in her voice as her fist clinches up instinctively. It's more about the actions of monsters that angered her than the monster themselves... She was someone who could get along with beasts, but it's actions that come with hurting other people that triggered her sense of justice. As friendly as she was, Ryza wouldn't hesitate to kill a monster to protect people and herself.]

Anyway... Now that I think about it? The Philuscha do hate water, but they're still really crafty at how they move. They come in various shapes and sizes and there's always a bigger one that controls the pack. [A beat as she takes a breath.] My home was nearly invaded by them once, but my friends and I stopped them. Beyond the Oren people from the Underworld, my friends and I are the only ones who know they exist.
