[ He's been on the ship for about a week and has maybe stepped foot into his assigned room a total of once. Most of the week was spent being in shock, angsting over his planet-go-boom situation and analyzing all the people. It wasn't good enough to lose all the things he held dear once; he had to lose everything he held dear twice. WHY HIM? Such is

Yes. Here I can.

Oh. Does that mean you can't normally?
[ Well, uh. This is... strange. Talking white wolf. He didn't really expect her to talk, just asked because it was apparently possible. He figures he might as well introduce himself. Not that he's very good at that. ]
My name's Zuko, by the way. What's yours?

Yes. Humans can't really speak to animals after all.
[She shakes her fur out a bit, fluffing up, but then it falls flat again]
My name is Amaterasu, but call me Ammy. It's nice to meet you, Zuko.

[ Like the Avatar! Also stop being cute. Zuko is trying to angst. How dare you get his mind off all the bad things. ]

...How can... How could your mom have....
[ What. ]

Yes. Snowy, white spirit, mutt... I don't really enjoy mutt... brother... I'm sure he knows my gender by now.
[She tilts her head]
There are many here who are not as they appear. My mother wasn't there because she was the Goddess of Death by the time of my birth.

What, no Wolfie? Or Pooch?
[ Oh. -Oh.- Zuko is catching on a little. Definitely confused, but understanding Amaterasu isn't just some random white wolf. ]
So your mom... isn't a wolf? If so, I guess that would mean you're not really a wolf either....

That's right. Still, what I am doesn't matter too much to others... though, maybe it does and they don't wish to voice it...
