beauty in the breaking
#11
The small child sat staring at the larger male as he finally gave her a name. Her tiny ribbon wrapped tail thumped against the sands as she smiled with delight at having something to call him finally. "Z'weke.." She said outloud, trying to test the name on her tongue. She furrowed her brows as she muttered it again and again before she finally tilted her head to the side and asked. "Why yew wook funny?" Dabi stood in the funny form that Zeke was in but she rarely saw anyone else in the luperci form. She'd always thought Dabi looked funny too in the weird looming stance when he had to crunch himself all up to be down on her level. Zeke seemed to have to do the same thing, it all just seemed so silly. "Why no wook ike me?" she asked as she wondered if there was something wrong with Zeke and Dabi.. something bad.

He kept muttering her name as she babbled questions at him but then suddenly he gave her a look that she'd rarely seen before. Normally only when she'd done something wrong or scared someone. Her ears instantly pinned back against her skull as she wailed. "I nos can helps it!" He spoke like something was bad about being who she was and instantly she began to sniffle, thinking that she was in trouble. Maybe coming to look for her father wasn't such a good idea. Tears filled her eyes as she cried. "No nos.. nots pos' to talks bout em! No nos name.." She sniffled as she lowered her lilac eyes to stare at her big paws. How was she to know that no one would know who she was, that no one could figure out who her father was. She thought it would be easy.. but she was wrong.
