It was not a useful purpose. "Not Weel, it is EEL. E," this time they were going to try to pronounce every single letter slowly and precisely, "E," and the last one, "L. I'm E E Lpaw, like how you are P R I M R O S E paw." At least they hoped it would make sense... somewhat.
But then Primrosepaw begun eating and Eelpaw was once again left confused over her hesitancy. Did she not eat fish? Then what else did she eat? "Do you like eating fish or do you like... eating other prey?"

Were they still not happy? Primrosepaw started getting the impression that Eelpaw didn't like sharing his name with the Ike. But... Eel was so much prettier than Ike, and the Ike felt pretty so they deserved a pretty name too! Or- names? Primrosepaw squinted her eyes and tilted her head to the side completely in confusion as Eelpaw started saying... Things. E? L? I? S?
"..E...S...L...M...?" She didn't quite know what those things were, or what they meant but they sounded amusing and after an attempt at saying some of the letters she found herself giggling at their strangeness.
"..hm-..E..el!" She eventually giggled, smiling brightly. She said.. Eel now! The exact way Eel said eel, the tiny apprentice felt.
But then, after her hesitant tiny bites, the Eel spoke again. It was... A que..ques..Question! A ques-tion they asked, as by the way it was said. Right? Yes. But what did it mean? The Eel had many strange words. Primrosepaw knew
'eat' and started to understand
'fish' but she didn't know what
'prey' was. or did she? The little one thought and thought, trying to connect
'prey' to something, something... All she could find, was what they ate. Was that
'Prey'? It.. Made sense, to her at least. After the long moment of silence, Primrosepaw still just shrugged upon having taken another small bite from the fish; it's taste wasn't that bad. But then she proceeded to remain facing them- the Eel- the best she could at least- head tilted with a questioning look. She wanted to know their answer to their own question because... If they asked, then they knew, right?
