Astralux closed her eyes for a while, turning into a beautiful baby blue color that indicated she was extremely shy. It had been a few minutes since Nox asked his new pet to introduce herself to her brothers, yet the elemental beast had yet to speak any words.

"Come on, stop being shy." Nox displayed a warm smile that was like the sunset during spring as he tried to coax Astralux. Still, there was no answer from her. He entertained the thought that she hadn't learned how to speak very well, hence her silence.

Then his eyes flashed as he thought about something he had read in his father's *Guide to Beast Taming* book. "Well, not all beasts could speak like Fluffington and Thirteen. Some of them could only make sounds, while some would only be able to make gestures. Perhaps Astralux falls under one of these categories."
