"Well, you can pass the name on to your children, should you choose to have any," he pointed out.

“Maybe,” she agreed lamely. “I… don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work, though.”

He shrugged. "You've got two names to choose from; I'd recommend sticking with Ruiarc. Tomhas has plenty of others to carry on his family name."

“… you don’t think he’d mind?” She supposed that made sense, since he hadn’t demanded a legal change to Loquitur.

"Not at all. Knowing Tomhas, he'd ask you to do so himself. He worries about selflessness so much." It could be dangerous for him, sometimes.

Ky nodded. That was good to hear. “… wouldn’t I have to give them my husband’s name regardless, though?”

"Hm, that depends on your husband and the family you marry into. In the North, the name of the person with higher social status is taken. Or new names are agreed upon sometimes. It depends."

“Interesting.” Ky considered it for a moment. Would that mean Loquitur, though, since they had the status not Ruiarcs? “We just don’t have them back home… er, in juudri… Austraka.”

"You can always cross that bridge when you come to it," he pointed out. "You have a ways to go before you need to think about marriage."

Maybe. Lyra was even younger than she was and was already divorced. But she nodded. “True enough.” Hopefully. But she wouldn’t say that. She couldn’t risk him telling Tomhas that she didn’t want to get married yet. She’d get married for Tomhas in a heartbeat. To whoever he asked her to.

"How are you feeling now?" he asked. He was trying not to show it, but his leg was growing tired the longer they walked. They hadn't been in the grove very long, but he knew that if they walked further they'd have to walk the same length back. That didn't appeal to him at all.

Ky glanced up at him. Had her comfort appointment ended? God he was so stiff about things. Clinical. “Good… fine.” He wouldn’t believe she felt good. She didn’t.

“Always.” She flushed, looking up at him with a quick, panicked gaze. She hadn’t meant to let that slip out. “Sometimes. When we’re outside. For a long time. But… a little.”

"So am I," he said. "Shall we go inside?" Better to relate to her than complain of his own ailments. Gods, she looked afraid again.
