Her nod of agreement to his comment made him smile. Her tenderness for her children made a warm and fuzzy feeling charge through him. He listened with interest as she explained the possibility of the red pup being a throwback from previous, far back generations. Could that mean he had a chance of passing that coloring on to his own? A question bubbled to the fore of his mind; what did his mothers side carry? Were they all silver, like Cormalin had said she was? Or had they had different colors? Markings? It was a fascinating thought, and one he would never find answers to. Not anymore. He was brought back as Surreal responded to his question about their names. He smiled as she nosed the darkest grey female. It looked like this female, who most resembled her mother, would have little black paws. He smiled. ?Zuriel is a beautiful name. Falk has good taste.? He wondered what they would name the others. Then Surreals eyes met his, an earnesty in their gaze that he couldn?t deny took his breath away. Then she asked if he?d like to name one of her children. It was an honor that he hadn?t expected. His tail began thrashing behind him of its own volition, and he forced it to be still as he answered her permissive posture and scooted closer, moving so that the light would fall on the brood. The only male, red as blood fresh from a vein, fairly glowed under that light, stark in contrast to his little sisters. Alsander gazed at the three bundles of life, then lowered his head, gently nuzzling the two, before his nose rested on the unnamed female. A strong name. A feminine name? He looked up at Surreal. ?Faite?? It would ultimately be her decision. But Faite seemed to fit this little girl. |
