Two Rivers Isle ELSA, PLEASE DON'T SLAM MY MEMES

Malice picked him up again, and for a moment Vass thought she was really going to put him back up there! Alas, he was placed between her paws, right at her face, and he grinned. Before he could do anything, she was speaking, and said both his name a bunch of NEW words. 
Again, with the pointing: he knew this drill. Just like Burke had pointed to himself, as Vass remembered as the massive grey paw being jabbed around, Mama did too, but this was a different word. 
          "Vassago!"
He parroted his own name with ease, but tipped his head and looked up at her as he tried to figure out her name. Malice. 
                       "M..Mmmm... Mmaaaaa..... Ma! Maww... Malll.... Mallllll!"
It sounded a bit more like mawl than Mal, but he was at least trying, right?
