The Ties That Bind

The boy sighed and Resin's brow furrowed. Something really was on his mind. Something heavy, it seemed. What tumbled from the boy's mouth was shocking, to say the least. The ashen woman blinked in surprise and raised one brow. How long had he been carrying those thoughts and feelings around? It wasn't healthy and it would distract him from his training. Well... there was nothing to do but answer him, she supposed.

Sinking down onto her stomach, she motioned for Artorias to come closer so that she could hold him between her front legs while he was still small enough to fit there. "Not all families are the same, even though they might look like it. Some are chosen. I chose your mother and I chose all of you. You are my family just the same as if I'd given birth to you myself." The maned woman gave a slight sigh before speaking again. "As for my family name, it's... not a family name. I chose this name for myself." She had left the name of her own family behind. It had been the name of the mountain that her father had ruled. Instead, she'd made her own name, derived from the scars that she had accumulated while leaving her family.

To hear that Artorias wanted a family name for not only himself but for Tamsyn as well... it was a little shocking. To Resin, such things weren't very important. Actions were important. Titles were not. Surnames were just that: titles. "You are free to have this surname if you wish. As for your mother, no we are not married." Ah, more things to explain. Inhaling deeply, the woman began to speak once more. "I am not a wolf of titles or spoken bonds. I am a wolf of action. Marriage, sharing names... these things have never been important to me." Her piercing golden gaze softened somewhat as she looked down upon her blue child. "But if they are important to you, then I'll do something about it." Already her mind was hatching some sort of plan.
