Elwood couldn't help but laugh at Peregrine's butchering of the babies' names. It had taken him a few tries to get them just right, too -- but luckily, the pronunciation of Tiarnach and Caoilfhionn was much simpler than the spelling. He imagined that, had Finley been conscious, she would have playfully given Peregrine a smack and then explained the origin of the unique names.

"They're named after Finley's brother and sister. Caoilfhionn was actually Tiger's proper name," he said, raising his brows. Surely Peregrine remembered the young aspiring medic that had been with them for a short time. "The original Tiarnach goes by Colt. I imagine they'll earn their nicknames soon," he added, directing a fond smile in Eljay's direction. The youth was right; he was no longer Elwood Jr, really, and had grown into his own identity as Eljay.

He watched affectionately as Eljay reached down to gently move his siblings, making room for Tiarnach in between the rambunctious Caoilfhionn and Lucy. "They're an active bunch," he commented over the sound of the puppies squealing in harmony.
