Subject: Taurean sighed, sitting against a convinient stone wall, Akiru's head resting in his lap, asleep.

He had been mulling over a new name for himself ever since he'd set eyes on his wonderful Akiru, and was still pulling a complete blank.

I'm partial to Taean, a drowsy voice murmured at the back of his mind.

What? Oh, sorry, 'Kiru, didn't realize I'd woken you up, the boy replied, remembering to form the statement as a thought. But... what was that?

Taean. Tay-an, Akiru repeated, You thought it up, not me. And it fits you, I think. Why don't you silly humans know your names when you're Hatched? He asked.

We're not Hatched, we're born, Taean automatically corrected, And I was born with a name, just that m'parents made it up. And now I've got to change it. I don't suppose you'd know what to change your name to, he countered.

No, Akiru thought for a moment on that, but I'm never going to have to change it. And I think you like Taean, too, he added. For a Hatchling only out of the shell a few days, he was surprisingly smart, and Taean was rather proud of him. Scratching the little orange just above the eye, he responded out loud, "You're right, I do. Taean it is, then."
