The names that he called them by didn't make sense at all. Literally. To her they were nonsense names, and they certainly didn't fit her children in any way she could see. Still, she could sort of guess who was who -- and Royal was obvious. Royal will learn, it just might be at the teeth of her siblings when they tell her she doesn't get to act better without actually being that way. Which did at least amuse her a little. Even Brou had shaped up a little when her siblings talked back to her. Hell, Arbiter made her own sister get in line. Maybe it was just a thing with certain females. Haunt and Vex will know both hunting and fighting by the time they're grown. We'll see if they have any other interests by then, but all three will be more than capable to survive in these wilds.
