It seemed her companion had some interest in names, a unique quality that Tahlia had only heard of once before. The whole concept seemed a little strange to her, having mostly just associated names with those who had passed and held the name before, but there appeared to be a select few who looked far beyond that, to something within the name itself. Never once had it crossed her mind to wonder what was in a name, but now that she had been in a position to name someone, and therefore inadvertently attach whatever was associated to them, she found herself curious. "Hm. I wonder," she murmured thoughtfully, dark golden eyes watching the sleeping trio as she gave it consideration.
At the mention of Nake, Tahlia found herself smiling with surprise. "He is. Very much so," she answered, quite certain of herself too. The swift way in which he had found his place in the family still shocked her, and how willing he had been to take to her as well. All the worries she had had from the moment he had been introduced as living with them had been for nothing; he was proving to be a welcome addition and just as much family as her own. "He plays with Anais and Jakart as if nothing separates them. He is their brother. And a son to me too," she added, unable to consider denying him when he so openly accepted her as well.
The grey woman surprised her by bringing up her banished mate, the change in conversation quickly stealing away the smile that she had just been wearing. "I am glad he left a good impression on you," she answered, "he seems to have been doing very little of that lately." It was perhaps not the best way for her to approach the subject, and certainly not the kindest in regards to Bane, but even she knew there was truth to it. A gentle furrow beginning upon her brow, Tahlia surprisingly confided, "I hope so too. I worry about him. And miss him." Her eyes shifted from the grey wolf toward the den once more, peering inside at her sleeping children. "I plan to take them to see him. I would hate for them to grow thinking he abandoned them without a care."
