Niamh didn't give her a direct response, though it almost seemed like a foregone conclusion, so was one even really needed? Towhee shifted a little as her sister-in-law mused about surnames, eventually proposing a new one. She licked her lips and stilled, taking a moment to peer down and admire her baby before replying.

-"I'd really rather stick with Redhawk-Blackthorn,"- she admitted, -"and I'd love to share it with the rest of you, though if you and Phox decide to go with something else, it's just—what's the word?—semantics?"- She rolled a white-dusted shoulder, trying not to get hung up on it. What was in a name, after all? Whatever they all went by, it wouldn't change the nature of their relationships.

That said, Towhee mused, -"I'd like to come up with a title for Meerkat to call you when she's old enough. I haven't gotten very far in the thought process, though I thought of... A-M-M-Y?"- It was kind of "aunt" and "mommy" blended together. The Regent fully intended to go by "mama," so it sounded different enough that hopefully it wouldn't cause any confusions. -"Unless you have any better ideas?"- Towhee invited openly.
