Novella needed no approval for her name, it wasn't as though she had chosen it herself after all, she was rather pleased with t though in all honesty. Her parents had chosen well with the names of their children, although it seemed that they had perhaps lacked a little creativity with her own. She had surely been named for her mother, and built more in her likeness than any of her other children, it was of course rather fitting. A small nod was given in acknowledgement of the compliment all the same, not really sure how to respond to it; 'Thanks it was my parent's choice' just seemed far too obvious to say. She had never met anyone to rename themselves, and she certainly didn't plan upon changing her own ever.
Instead her attention was fixed upon the pup. The small grey girl gave no name for them to call her by, though it was good to know that at least she had her family somewhere around, hopefully they weren't too far away Novella wasn't quite sure what to do even if they weren't anywhere around, take her back to Ludicael? She herself didn't think she could care for the pup properly, although she was perhaps a little more experienced at caring for others than some her age, what with her brother's difficulties and now having her nieces and nephew around. No, her thoughts would of course be for someone else in Ludicael to look after the girl, she was sure someone would step up to the role rather than leave her alone.
She hadn't really expected the pup to know why the water was warm in all honesty, though it had been a rather smooth transition into asking where her family was if she did say so herself. Perhaps Song or Symphony would know, Novella would have to ask one of them later, although not something she wanted to shout around for fear of making herself look rather unintelligent, her elder sister's certainly knew more than she did about things.
That being said she had to restrain herself from scoffing as Isabella commented upon the water perhaps being warmed by the ocean. Novella of course had seen the nearby ocean, knew for a fact it certainly wasn't warm like this. The woman's further explanation didn't help her case too much though, the Spirit of the Ocean, who had ever heard of such a thing? It surely didn't exist, her father was one of the smartest wolves she had ever known and he had never spoken of such a thing, not even in a single one of his stories. She covered herself rather well though, a straight face remaining in place and silence keeping her thoughts to herself.
Fortunately the little lesson on the Spirit of the Ocean would end there and instead Isabella would shift her attention back to the youngest of the trio, once more requesting the girl's name and where her pack was. She wasn't from Ludicael, at least Novella didn't think so anyway, the scent was different and she had of course never seen her in the pack. It was a good point though, if there was a pack they could return the pup back to safely it was better than going on a wild goose chase for her mother.
