Illyana couldn't help but smile when Aurel and Bengal gave their consent for the name she had come up with. Having never had a pet of her own to name, she was quite pleased with herself. Although her sister had wanted to name her bunny "Hoppy" when she first got it and Illyana had coaxed her into agreement about changing it to Hopscotch. It was more sophisticated, she said, and reminded her of butterscotch. This had been enough to convince her, so, Illy supposed she had been responsible for that name as well.

There was no clock nearby, so Illyana couldn't tell just how far they had gotten...but she hoped it was farther than she thought. Talking to Aurel had helped to pass the time...maybe she should continue their conversation to ensure that she was not constantly thinking about how much longer they had on the road.

The only way she could think of continuing to speak with him was to bring up things that she knew. Since he had an affinity with snakes, she decided this was the best way to keep him engaged.
