Phim listened carefully, her ears perked. The wolf who adopted his father... "So you were named after your grandfather then?!" she practically shouted in her excitement. She caught herself and ducked her head immediately, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Sorry," she said in a much softer voice, slowly raising her head back up. "It's just that I was named after my grandfather as well. Is that odd? For a girl to be named for her grandfather?" She managed a half smile, still struggling with her embarrassment. Hopefully he wouldn't judge her too much for her outburst. After all, how could one not be excited at that coincidence? From what Phim had heard, her grandfather had been a great and noble man. Despite his being male, Phim aspired to be viewed and appreciated the same way.

She shrugged off Laoch's apology for calling her Miss with a giggle. Of course it wasn't a big deal, but she had to appreciate how seriously he took it. Her demeanor gradually eased as he continued to speak, explaining that he was out at the ravine for the same reasons she was. To think she would happen upon someone so similar to herself this soon, on her first complete night back in Alacritia. She grinned at his offer and nodded her head, stepping toward him. "I would love to go on a walk with you." She continued to step past him, making her way in the direction he nodded his head and further from her brother. "Will you tell me about your sibling while we walk? You've got me curious."
