Two Rivers Isle Except a memory, a distant Echo

Ady laughed genuinely happy and surprised. I certainly don't think it's strange. I think it's sweet.

Ady had thought long and hard about the names for their children and though her homeland had been fraught with chaos and general awfulness. It had good things too and she wanted her children to have something at least from what they left behind, because there wasn't much good to be had from there, but the names. 

Ady heard the softness in her husbands tone and she moved closer to him and leaned against him, preening gently at his ruff. Her meal forgotten for the moment. She hadn't known many of the soldiers, but those she had met. She had tried to remember their names, because someone had too, if they never came home and her family surely wouldn't. She remembered Manias. Didn't know him well, but enough to see him. And she felt it a fitting name and an honor to have one of their children named after someone her darling had cared for.
