Names were strange. Ele - Taime'sööja, sorry - had explained how they worked and how the Jini-msemi used them, but Ige still thought they were awfully strange. Changing them was stranger still. Taime'sööja had such a different sound to it than Ele, it was almost as if he was a different lion... but that was the point, wasn't it? He was an adult now, never mind that he was already full grown when she met him.
Ige sprawled on the ground and moped. She liked Taime'sööja rather well, certainly well enough to follow him home, but staying meant that she'd have to change her name too. But what could she possibly change it too? She still felt like the same Ige she always had.
