It would not be fair of him to ask - he wants to things as well. Several more perhaps, too, if he had the luck to meet some more. Keep their interest. So far there had been two, and, he would not complain about that.
But his heart wanted more. Wanted all of them around. And he could not have it, for they were separated and he could not be in more places than one at the time.
Carwyn and her child were a responsibility with a looming danger, but the evidence of said danger seemed less when he was with her on land. She felt safe and, truly, if her husband was that terrifying, he could always mimic him. So when she expressed her wish to stay, he nodded. ”I don’t want to keep you from your family. But perhaps you’re right that you and the child might be better staying here, at least for a while.” He embraces her lightly, feeling her skin upon his. He wouldn’t let her return to a place she was unhappy, he decided. But most of all he would keep their foal safe, if she stayed or left. ”Or I could come with you.” Maybe. But it was a silly thought, a wish more than an opportunity.
Her naming question throws him off balance, and he disengages to look at her and frown. ”I’ve never thought of any names.” he admits. So far his children had been named by their mother, and he was fine with that. When put on the spot, honestly nothing came to mind. ”Are there any names in your family you want to reference to?” After all, his name meant basically the same thing as his aunt’s, even if he never personally got to meet her.
