[color=598527]"Hmm..."[/color] Illyana had already been in the process of thinking of a suitable name by the time Aurel made the suggestion. It didn't seem right to her for him not to have one, he was sentient and intelligent and kind...he should have a name like any person would.

"I could help, if you both don't mind." She said, though her eyes were trained on the snake. She studied his coloration, the way he moved, his eyes, trying to see if anything came to her. Although he was a dull brownish-gray color, he did have lovely black stripes all the way down his body to his tail...that was probably the most striking thing a bout him.

Then, she remembered a dog in her neighborhood. She had always wanted one, but her parents wouldn't allow it. Isabella had a pet bunny they had named Hopscotch, but she had died last year and her parents had simply refused to get either of them another animal. The dog's name was Tiger, which she was thought was ill-fitting as it wasn't a very ferocious or courageous puppy, but it had belonged to a boy, so she supposed she couldn't blame him for not thinking harder about it.

Tiger wasn't right though, it wasn't...regal enough. Suddenly, her furrowed brow loosened and her eyes widened, then she looked back up at Aurel, [color=598527]"What about Bengal?" she said[/color], her voice higher than usually in her excitement. [color=598527]"He's not really the right color, but his stripes remind me of a Bengal Tiger, and his fangs are kind of like claws."[/color]
