His eye widened at her words. When dragons fought? There had been more than one of them in that storm tonight then. Which meant that she might not be the only dragon to descend to the world tonight. He glanced back out the open door to the over cast sky. Calm now, with only the occasional distant rumble of thunder and firm gust of wind to indicate that the tsunami level storm had ever taken place. 

He pushed the thoughts from his head and tried to lighten the mood. He nodded his head at her translation of his name, "Yeah, that was what mom was going for. To bad 'ko' is more often used on the end of feminine names than not. Mother was a kind woman, though perhaps not nearly a clever as she thought she was." he admitted with a shrug before adding.
