The nobility in Trent's voice amused Terra, both of them going along with the joke. Sitting down Terra stretched out, feeling her belly scrape along the sand. She was very large. Not as large as someone carrying a litter of many pups, but it definitely showed on her small frame. Panting a little from the movement she looked back up to Trent, tail thumping behind her. Being pregnant was not very comfortable, but at least this small section of it was a good place for her to relax in.
Names? That hadn't occurred to her. It hadn't occurred to her at all. Where she had grown up the pups were given names based on what they revealed about themselves at birth. Some were named for their coats, or the way they moved, or the sounds they made. Terra herself had been named for the way she had reacted when born, accepting it as simply fact. That acceptance had earned her the grounded earthy name that she bore. Perhaps. Tilting her head Terra wondered if any would look like him. He was rather close in appearance to herself, so it was possible. I'm hoping they'll be great tricksters.
