It seems she hadn't gotten her point across exactly the way she wanted to, but Mal is at least quick to soothe her concerns about how he feels. She leans into the touch appreciatively, though her thoughts dull her enjoyment slightly as she considers how to respond. I believe the title itself does not truly matter; perhaps we will call each other 'mate' or husband and wife, to make it simple for others to understand. But the meaning of the word would be different for us than it is for many others, She shifts away from him to hold his gaze, fond as always of the mismatched colors; a quality that passed to all of her children, and has come to represent family to her.
I've seen it in my travels; wolves who take multiple lovers or mates, or one mate and many lovers, or perhaps two mates who love one another just as much. I believe a similar arrangement would suit our lifestyle as it already is — it would be no change except a greater commitment to each other. A promise of sorts. A smile tugs at her lips with the last words, trailing the thought unbidden. While she has her own selfish reasons for this, the main thought at the front of her mind is the same as always: her children. Such a commitment would give them greater security, a promise of a united family in the future — and while she might never be able to guarantee she can keep the promise, she knows it's better to make it than leave the future uncertain. She can only hope Mal agrees — or at least shares enough of her more selfish reasons to want her. Either would work, really.
