Eljay honestly didn't mind which Wiffle chose -- he loved her anyway, so he wanted her to choose what made her happiest. They'd figure out what they would call the pups later on; that, too, didn't seem too difficult to him. It seemed that Wiffle was all about making it even easier though when she chose to take the Blackthorn name too. Really? he said with a smile. He wasn't sure what else he should say -- welcome to the family sounded a little weird, so he ended up just giving her another soft nuzzle.

Wiffle then agreed that they should tell others about it, starting with mommy and daddy. Eljay was eager to tell them, because he'd been confused for a while now and he really wanted to let them know about, well, everything. And now he finally could. Yay! Let's go! Eljay said eagerly, his heart bursting with all sorts of feelings and eager to shout at the world about his love for Wiffle now that it was official. He got to his feet and bounded out into the fresh snow, feeling happy like a child.
