Day blinked at her when she asked about Amber, and something in his expression clearly fell. For a moment, he just stared at her, still trying to reconcile this Adeline with the one from his memories. The more he searched, the less differences he found, until he was forced to realize that it was his own impressions of her that'd changed. Absence, they said, made the heart grow fonder, and it seemed to make Adeline prettier, too.

"Her name's Amber," he said, looking toward the sound of a bird-call so that he did not have to look at her. Sometimes when he blinked as saw the tiny girl she'd been when they met. "She's got a dark pelt and blue eyes, and she likes the stars. Knows a ton of stories about them," he explained, knowing in his heart that there was much more to tell. He just couldn't find the words when Addie was in front of him. Not when his eyes kept finding their way back to her like this. Day gave up on averting them. "And, uh, she's a little moody," he added with a chuckle, ears flickering as he checked to make sure no one but Addie was around to hear that. "But that might just be because she's very pregnant right now - I wouldn't know."
