Picture Perfect

Aine flicked her ears, her face flashing in small surprise as a embarrassed smile spread across her lips. "No one has ever asked tha' before... I don't know whether te thank ye or not..."

She turned back to him, her stormy eyes, that held no secrets, now crackled with spirited energy, as if she held the will and courage of her lineage in her paws. "The Bradys never break an' never bow te a forced master, and we never shall."

"And te me mum, I seemed te be the very essence of the Brady. She said, despite me bein' the least nourished of the litter, I came out with a roar as fierce as a mountain lion's. And so, she named me Aine Brady; Fiery Spirit."

She sighed, and the ferocious energy in her eyes settled down. She sat down in relaxation. "Bu' enough abou' me. Wha' abou' ye? 'Mees' seems te be a foreign name, does it mean anythin'?"
