...Do not know. [Her voice is a bit sullen, eyes still narrowed suspiciously] Thought you would be angry, somehow. You do not praise me enough.

[Well maybe not in so many words, and Oona was really just being picky now, but she relaxes anyhow.]

Yes... my goal. [She can't wrap her arms around her knees and pull them up to her like she might have as a human, so instead she shifts to lay on her stomach, propping her chin on her fist and dragging a finger through the dirt.] My goal, to get tail back. But, now that that is done--

I had no thought to live long beyond that. It is strange, then, to have come to it and realized I do not desire to die. [A pause and Oona realizes that's not quite what she meant. A sigh.] No, that is not right. Mean... I no longer do not care if I do or do not. I want to live. But I do not know what for, now.

[Talking about those feelings she'd kept hidden deep down is strange now, though it's easier when it's Sousei. She's not entirely sure she could tell Tenka the same thing in quite so many words, if only because she would not want to make him upset. Sousei, she thinks, does not get upset anyway, so it didn't really matter.

(Or, if he did get upset, he never showed it in the same manner Tenka might have.)]
