"It does... But names have a certain other power... They can do much to make us who we are, even if they aren't everything." He paused to think for a moment, letting his eyes close. "For example... If my name was something like Dances With Flowers would I be the same as I am now that my name is Acheron?"

"It could be." Some didn't always live up to their names even if most did. "Though i would think that if that were your name you'd have even more reason to keep to yourself?" Not everyone was nice enough not to laugh at names like that.

"Or perhaps I would have more of a reason to spend time seeking flowers to dance with." He smiled, dark eyes glistening as he looked to the mare. "I might try to live up to the name given me."

"It would be amusing if you did. I'm sure your siblings would like it." Generally siblings liked it when you did something foolish she'd discovered. It was the easiest way to bring a smile to their faces.

He snorted softly, feeling a slight smile curve the corners of his mouth at the mention of siblings. "I would never hear the end of it from my brother... But it might be worth it to bring a smile to my sister's face. Then again, of the three of us, she is still the one who smiles the most."

"You have a brother and a sister? That must be nice." She only had sisters so she had no idea what a brother would be like truthfully. Maybe she could find out one day.
"Your sister sounds nice. It is always good to smile"

"I do... Having a sister is nice. A brother?" He paused to think on that for a moment. There really wasn't all that much nice about his brother... Besides the moments of shared responsibility over keeping an eye on Ela. "She is unfortunate... But always smiling. Others could learn a great lesson from her."

"I think i'd like to meet her one day." She didn't know why he'd called her unfortunate and didn't feel like she had the right to ask but it sounded like she would be someone good to meet.

"Perhaps one day you will... They do say that fate has a strange way of intertwining lives, after all. If you ever go down by the sea I am sure that you will see her... She loves the ocean." It seemed to be one of the things that could make her smile the most.

"I've ... never thought about going down that far." It just seemed odd to be down there. She'd heard stories of it, and stories of what lived in it, and had just never bothered to go see for herself.

"I was brought up by the sea... I don't go back often but... If you wanted an escort..." He looked to the mare for a moment before glancing back in the direction he knew his 'home' to be. "Ela would enjoy the company..."

"That sounds lovely." She smiled brightly at him. "Wouldn't want to be eaten by any nasty beasts while i'm traveling." She doubted anything like that would happen but one never knew what was out there.

"There is an amazing lack of nasty beasts between here and the ocean... I would think that, in the time that I've traveled back and forth between here and there, I would have run into them had there been more."

"They could think you are a nasty beast though and perhaps they're just staying away from you." She turned and trotted in the direction she knew the ocean was. "I might not look so nasty and instead look like a treat"

"In turn, would you not also think that, as tempting as you may be, I might still appear the part of the nasty beast and, in doing so, you will remain safe by my side?"
