[Orcelito gently takes the list from her and reads over the names. A smile grows as he does so – half proud, half amused. They’re definitely the sorts of names a child would be inspired to give.]
[He glances at her and remarks in a warm tone,] Your spelling has improved. Good job! [He almost reaches out to ruffle her hair, but holds back. The gesture seems a little too personal.] And the names are splendid. [Better than Owain’s, and we must name the mounts before Owain does.]
[Orcelito reads the list silently again, takes a breath… and then begins reciting it to the mirror in a clear voice:]
The blue and white bird is Cloudy Sky. The yellow bird is Black Hood. The brown bird is Brown Cloak. The blue bird is Blue Sky. The flying squirrel is Jenyo. The black rat with the long tail is Midnight. The black rat with the short tail is Shadow. The brown rat is Jorma.
[He’s unsure of his pronunciation of ‘Jenyo’ and ‘Jorma’, but he does his best. Then, to add a final flair:]
These names are bestowed by Wily-Kit, and confirmed by Orcelito Noctircus.
[His last name slipped out by habit, and he bites his lip afterwards. His surname was meant to stay a secret! Well, at least the message sounds official now. He takes a deep breath and waits for a reply.]
