"Uriel...?" Vatyra repeated, rubbing her chin. "I seem to remember that name from somewhere... Wait, didn't you say you didn't like feminine names?"
Rael tilted his head. "What's wrong with Uriel?"
A vein appeared on Vatyra's forehead, but upon noticing the child not too far away, she held herself back from erasing Rael out of existence.
Vatyra scoffed. "How about Gabriel?"
Rael rolled his eyes and dragged Vatyra over to the child, where the two sat down with wide smiles.
"Look... I'm not sure if you understand us or not, but here's the deal..."
"If you like the name Uriel, say papa, okay?"
Noticing what Rael was doing, Vatyra chimed in:
"Say mama if you like Gabriel. You like it more, right?"
As if understanding what the two of them were getting at, and seeing their expectant expressions, the child copied Vatyra and placed a hand on his chin, rubbing it in thought.
