Different Isn't Always Bad

The girl giggled as her mother hugged her close and kissed her. She nuzzled happily into her mother's legs. It had been scary when their mother had first fallen ill and she hadn't been sure why they were kept so far from her for so much of the time but now she hoped her mom could maybe play with them? Her mom apologized and Onoskelis whined softly, she didn't like the sadness in her mother's tone or gaze but wasn't quite old enough yet to understand it so instead she just hugged into her mother harder, wanting to comfort her. She nodded at the first question. "Okay mom!" Her little voice lifted with the sort of conviction only a child who took promises seriously could.

The next question made her cock her head to the side, she had met few enough of her packmates, didn't even realize most of them were her cousins by some degree or separation but of the wolves she'd met she hadn't met any that called themselves Eligos. She shook her head, looking up curiously at her mother. "I haven't met anyone named that... Who is that mom?"
