As Anastasia asked her about a shorter name, Ylzkzyzxzkzxyzz tilted her head. How do you shorten a name like hers yet have it pronounceable by humans. It took a bit of worried thinking and clicking, then she gave her answer. "You could call me Xzkz.. or Zxzk..." After a bit of thought, Ylzkzyzxzkzxyzz realized humans need vowels. "How's Ylz?" She chirped the name out, tittering happily at the sound of it.
Then came the topic of castes, and humans lacking them. How did anything get done? She remembered her studies, each human was an individual! It still seemed so strange for her but it was also so fascinating. "How are your parents... Military caste if humans do not have castes? Is it genetics? Are they... really big?" Ylz felt her curiosity getting the best of her, once more leaning in and using her antennae to taste Anastasia's scent.

It was like some kind of pronunciation nightmare. Anastasia was fairly sure she'd need a second throat to pronounce any of them. At least the last one had a vowel. That was a small mercy, wasn't it? Only even then, it was... well, challenging to pronounce.
