Sun Mote Copse First light

Oh, the river, I mean, when... It didn't really matter now, and Eljay wasn't sure he wanted to bring it up to Wiffle's memory considering it was such a bad memory for her. He just smiled dreamily and listened to Wiffle half muse over half ask him about her and their last names. He honestly didn't even really care what they would be called. Well, maybe a little.

You can choose whatever feels best for you, Eljay said with a soft smile and he nuzzled Wiffle's face. I think I'll just stick to uhm, Elwood Junior Blackthorn. Because that's who he'd been his whole life. He could totally understand if that meant Wiffle would keep her own name, too, honestly. It would just leave the question what their pups would be called.

He meanwhile wondered about other things. Should we tell everyone..? I mean, obviously they should tell everyone, but what he was really wondering was how, when, all together or separately? He obviously wanted to tell mommy and daddy badly, as well as uncle Colt and Clover... But Wiffle also had Sequoia and Kiwi to worry about, of course.
