His mood seemed to be foul, and as she sat there and listened to her own words linger a moment in the air before disappearing, she expected the worst. But, if he proved to be so low as to attack her (verbally, though) in front of her children, he would merely confirm all the assumptions she had made over the years about the species he had a foot or two in. That they were vicious, heartless, evil. It was not hard to see from her hard mask that she was completely able to answer any phrase he might throw at her, for she had bickered with many people before. And, one did learn a thing or two when in the same pack as Svara and Firefly for any given amount of time. Though, it seemed her efforts paid off, for suddenly there was a wholly different air abuot the scarred hybrid. He wore a sort of smile and attempted to make it up to the children, it seemed. Somehow, in it, in the glance he threw at her, it seemed to the white-pelted female that there was perhaps some form of apology to herself. Well, she would not be so narrow-minded that she would not accept it, and so her features softened a little, and her gaze was on the children, to see how they reacted to their uncle's new face.

Vesle stared at him with a dumb face as he joked about their names, though it seemed that Dexter was picking up some of the play in the situation. The boy looked up at his mother for confirmation, as if he would just like to remind himself that she was there, before he smiled a little and looked at Jefferson's face. He was silent a for a little while, before finally deciding that he was indeed brave enough to speak. "Noo... I'm Dexter." He paused a second, and a little wave of mischief flew across his face. He gave a little giggle, too. Grinning, but still only barely looking at his uncle, his voice was low but amused. "And you are being silly..." Vesle, who had still not understood the situation, spoke for the first time that encounter a whole sentence. She remained where she was and spoke with a low, reserved voice. "Yeah because mom named us a long time ago, so you can't do that..." Mew chuckled now, and butted the small gray girl with her nose. "Don't worry Vesle, he's just joking around." The ivory woman raised her head smiling now, amused by her children's strange reactions. Vesle, who now realized her mistake, blushed furiously and hid behind her mother's leg — as much as that was possible. Dexter merely snickered at her.
