the girl.

Internally the girl began to squirm. It was encounters such as these that made her feel incredibly out of place, as if she was missing some crucial link to the world that everyone else possessed. For example, why on earth should Erebos be happy that Aithniel had other friends? Much less ones like her? What did that matter? Why was her happiness relevant to his? Why was the caliber of the girl's own friendship in anyway tied to Aithniel, or to Erebos? It was like Alysanne had told her before - friendships were not always reciprocal. They could be asymmetrical. And if that was the case then who was friends with you didn't mean much. Your happiness was only tied to who you were friends with. It might have been that Aithniel considered neither of them friends.

As Erebos asked what he ought to call her, the girl let these thoughts drift away to be considered later. Likely she would not find an answer - she was simply not built with the right kind of emotional machinery to understand.

"Do you need a name for me?" She asked quizzically. The thought had never occurred to her that Erebos might want to talk about her to someone else. She was only thinking of him addressing her now, or perhaps if they met again. But surely now, and later, they would know each other? Why would he need a title to call her? Even coming up with a fake and temporary name seemed daunting. What if it stuck? If she gave him something, she would forever be labeled as that to the people he told. Fumbling for the words, the girl chewed her lip as she considered this. The longer she remained in place, the faster the magic that worked silently within her took hold. Her hooves began to turn to stone, matching the ground upon which they stood. This marbled effect continued up her legs, until her entire lower half appeared carved out of the very ground itself.

Then, she had an idea. Kahlua had asked her for a name that began with k...perhaps if she needed a false name, she would at least honour her mother in that respect?

"You pick one for me, since it is you who will be using it." She said after a time, clearly not bothered by the rocky-magic that was growing up her limbs. "Anything you like. But I would like it to start with a 'K'."
