Sorry about the short chapter, but the scenes with the news going around are short, so there will be a few more chapters like this. They'll be posted close together, though, so I hope you don't mind. Anyway, here's the explanation for Tamomi…
Tamomi is much more similar to Tamama than Kulala is to Kululu, but there are some key differences. For one, Tamomi does not have a Kerora obsession. Also, she never gets mad. About anything. She's a real crier, though. You'll see that… eventually.
Elsewhere… Once Again
"Doriri? I know you're in here somewhere!" Tamomi called, looking around the arboretum that was her ninja-friends bedroom. Happening to glance up, she noticed Doriri balancing on a vine that stretched across the room like she was some sort of circus performer. She gazed down at Tamomi in her usual unnerving silence.
"There you are, Doriri!" Tamomi exclaimed happily, unphased. She had grown up with Doriri's silence. Doriri didn't talk much, and usually kept to herself. The rest of the team were constantly trying to include her, but she only talked if she had something important or profound to say, and even then it was in a barely audible whisper.
Doriri jumped to the floor, landing agilely on her hands and flipping onto her feet.
"What is it?" Doriri asked quietly, her light blue-gray face mask only barely moving with the motion of her mouth.
"We're being sent to Pekopon tomorrow!" Tamomi informed her, and Doriri smiled, or at least Tamomi though she did. It was kind of hard to tell under the mask.
"I'll finally be able to observe their unique plant species up close. I've heard they have many edible plants unavailable on Keron. Being a vegetarian will be much more pleasant with the variety there!" Doriri breathed.
Tamomi stared at her for a moment. That had to be one of the longest speeches she'd ever heard Doriri make! She must be really excited!
"Well, I'll leave you to pack for tomorrow, okay?" Tamomi asked awkwardly. Doriri nodded and disappeared into the greenery.
Tamomi left to get a start on her own packing.
