"Our wolves' names. Aren't you curious?" I ask.

"I am," he answers. "I just, I guess I didn't expect that you would- that you would want to do it. Now."

"Oh, no. Not now," I exclaim. "I am just curious. I have always wanted to know my wolf's name. About the… the other part, well, I wouldn't know how to start or go about it."

"Ah, yes. Well, what do you know?" he asks.

"Not much. And I have a lot of questions," I say.

He gives a sort of flinch at the statement, making me stifle a giggle.

Shouldn't I be the shy one here?

"I am not saying we should do anything now," I tell him. "But maybe we should be discussing it."

"Yes, definitely."

I wait a few more seconds, thinking he has something more to add.

He doesn't.

"So, what do you think?"

"About what?"

"About mating?"

Has he gone dumb?
