Fia's jaw dropped when a Silver female and a Forest hatched. How did she manage to get the pair of flits most likely to not get along?
Oh well. She sighed, grinned, grabbed a bowl of meat, and fed the flitters. The Silver bit her finger once, but the Forest gobbled down the meat quite cheerfully, burped loudly, and curled up in the girl's arms. The Silver gave him a disgusted look before climbing to Fia's right shoulder and sitting stiffly there. Scout landed on the left shoulder and chirped a greeting. The Silver chirped back...once.
Ooooh, shiny one! Oh, little shiny one, what shall I call you?
Hold it right there, 'Neath. This little girl is the only female creature I'm bonded to. I'm naming her.
Very well, but it must be pretty.
Fia smiled and ran through list of names with meanings that fit. Yes she knew the meanings. She read a lot.
Zilar? It means silver.
No.
Ayla? Moonlight?
No.
Kiera? Little black one? She's pretty dark...
NO. Pretty, but no.
Oh, fine, whatever. Mizuki? Beautiful moon?
Um...no.
Luna? Moon?
Ummmmmm...no.
Aku? Moon?
No.
Fia wracked her brains. She'd read in an ancient book somewhere...
Velia? It means concealed.
Velia? Velia...yes. Yes, the little shiny one shall be called Velia.
And the Forest?
Squishy!
Too late, pal. There's a Darkness flit called Squishy.
Aw. You think of one, then.
'Kay. Uh...Nobu? Means faith.
Beneath snorted. Only if you re-name the shiny one something that means truth.
Forget it. Um... Ace? Number one?
Nah.
Twister?
No.
Nova? Something to do with chasing butterflies.
Really?! No.
Ack! Piper?
Nope.
Amit? Friend?
No.
Zorion? Happiness?
Uh-uh.
Alright, pal, last one.
Okay, shoot.
Kanta. Singer.
Perfect.
HUH?!
Perfect.
Ack, whatever.
The girl shrugged and continued petting Velia and Kanta.
