Stone Circle heartache

"Is not sorry," Nikai told the stranger; Keoni startled him all the time, and he was used to it now, so he didn't think anyone should be sorry for those kind of things. Nikai didn't know there were wolves with multiple names, so he was surprised to hear that the wolf's name was 'Uncle Day'. Also, 'day' was a word ('uncle' was one he hadn't heard before, so he didn't recognise it as such) which Nikai didn't know could be a word, too. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that Steady was a word as well as a name, either.

"Day'sa word!" he said with a marvelling amazement. "Is name too?" He forgot about the question that had been asked of him because of how he was marvelling over the name, not realising that he was missing anything.
