Overture Downs Set the Sails

i suck! really sorry about the wait <3

Thistle, he murmured, taking great care to experience the feel of her name on his tongue. Thade sighed as she pressed into him again, and he settled his chin happily atop her dainty crown. Innocence seized the wanderer, making his tail wag in contented swoops, while he wondered if this was how his Papa felt about his Mama.

He stilled a bit when she asked for a last name. Oh... Would she reject him if he didn't have one? He couldn't make one up quick enough to lie, but he hesitated to tell her the truth all the same. I only have the, the one name. I guess I was never, uh, given a last one. His stuttering had calmed somewhat, and though he remained nervous about displeasing Thistle, she had agreed to be his mate, so on some level he thought he could relax a bit.

I could... ask my father about it? I was going to visit his pack in the bypass, not too far from here. He lives there with my sister, and I see them every now and again. You could, y'know, meet them, if you want. Thade worried about overwhelming her with his relatives, so he quickly added: O-Or! I could just take your last name? I-I wouldn't mind.
