His words were sharp, barking out at her. Terra's ears flattened, stepping so that she was crouched protectively over her pups. A growl brought them back to her, ready to defend them if things went wrong. She didn't trust him, his sudden break startling her. Terra was already deeply protective of her pups. The sudden threat did little to sooth her nerves and help her to trust him. What she was talking about was an idea she'd grown up with, something she considered fact. Learning that his name didn't have meaning just made her more nervous, along with the sudden rise in temper.
Throw away the meaning of the name? Why would anyone do that? Terra knew the convenience of having multiple names to use, but just discarding that key part of herself was shocking. This entire thing was beginning to confuse her. Throwing away names and meanings, even when she'd been taught how important they were? Shaking her head she wordlessly looked down at her pups, the pair continuing to play under her protection, away from the noble pup.
