Liffey was pleased that her mate approves of her choice. But more than that, she was impressed that he located the constellation so easily. She smiled at him. ”I think you’re getting better at this,” she commented, then nudged his shoulder and added, ”Your teacher must be very talented.”
”How about Tiarnach?” she suggested, pondering what to use for her other son. Nothing immediately came to mind, so she stayed quiet to see if her mate had any suggestions.
They continued like this until all of their children were given constellations of their very own. Tiarnach ended up with a marten, Eshe a mouse, and Sionnach--after some debate in which a mongoose or wolverine was bandied about--a fox. Afterwards, the couple simply rested together, watching the stars and talking about their lives until it was time to return home to their little pack of critters.
