Walk | Talk | Think
Maybe she was trying to explain a concept just beyond the pup's reach, but it was incredibly amusing and endearing to see the girl latch on to the concept of sisterhood and claim it as something she could relate with. Anais giggled gently at Zephyra's enthusiasm, glad at least that their conversation seemed to be going well so far. She wanted desperately to form good relationships with each of them, to be a part of their lives so they could know the same kind of love that she and her siblings had known. But the mention of a brother puzzled her. Brother? Last she recalled, the litter had been made entirely of girls, three of them to be exact. Did she recall Nako mentioning anything about a son? "A brother too?" she questioned curiously, tilting her head slightly to the side, Maybe she needed to speak with Nako again.
It took the pup a couple tries to get her name right, but the effort was so much fun to watch. Anais nodded encouragement until Zephyra finally managed to say it in full, and finished with a congratulatory, "That's right!" to assure the child she had gotten it right. Anais never had expected her name to be difficult or challenging until seeing her niece struggle now. And as the child stated her own name, the golden brown wolf felt everything click. "Zephyra," she repeated, nodding her head. That was it. Zephyra, Kaitlyn, and Nixie. Now if she could just figure out the last two pups and their respective names, she would feel like a much better aunt.
"Well, it's wonderful to meet you, Zephyra," Anais stated with a polite nod of her head. Her thoughts were full of different games and activities that the two of them could do together, little ways that they could bond and become closer, but the fact they were still so far from the den was something that she could not easily overlook. "But aren't you a little far from the den?"
