Stavanger Bay i have an instinct that can never be reversed

Turo doesn't struggle with her name as she had with his but she doesn't dwell on it or try to figure out why. Instead, her smile brightens and her tail thumps a little harder on the ground as he says it a second time. Yes, yes, like that! she thinks but none of the words reach her mouth. She becomes far too focused on his name again rather suddenly, determined she will be able to pronounce the whole thing some time but it takes a great effort not to blurt it out again.

After a long moment of her feeling content, she's able to look at him with a bit more comfort than she had before. He reminds her far more of Appeh than the other males she'd been around, and thus reminding her of Amayo. His voice deeper but steady and sure, and she likes the way it sounds all the same.
