He said the magic word: "mates." Towhee rolled her eyes and shoved at him, though there was a (not so) secretly pleased twinkle in her eye. She had never been one for romance and her entire approach to her relationship with Reyes could hardly be called romantic. But she was rather fond of him and, every day, she also grew more attached to the idea of raising their litter together.

-"Please do,"- she replied simply. -"I'd really like to promote him at some point."- It was technically her decision to make, though she definitely wanted Phox and Niamh onboard, especially if he ended up with the Sovereign title.

Anyway, that left the one last thing she wanted to float past her brother. Towhee kind of needed his validation, since she was actually struggling with it. -"Reyes wants me to take his name. At first, I was like, hell no, I'm not changing mine. But the more I think about it, the more I like the idea,"- she admitted. -"I think I want to go by Redhawk-Rivaini, so I can share with our kids."-

She stopped there, eyes searching his face. Towhee intended to drop her godparents' surname but keep her middle name to honor them. Despite this, she felt like she was betraying their memory or something. Perhaps that was silly. She hoped her brother could help her navigate her feelings on the matter.
