39. BTW, there is one vocalization that Ember does

that I forgot to mention. She growls, quite fiercely, at anything that she perceives as dangerous or threatening to her or me.

So, when she sits at the window on holidays and sees colorful sky monsters bursting into the air with loud booms, she growls until they finally get scared off and stop.

She is equally hostile to street monsters that roll past my building in winter with red and green flashing lights. Ember growls fiercely until they finally obey her and move on.
