A friendly laugh bubbles out of Sickle when he suggests the name Blue, and she can feel an eye roll through the bond with her phoenix. It was definitely an accurate name, but they were looking for something with a little more...
Well a little more like Oceanus! Sickle's smile turns thoughtful and she tries to sense her companion's opinion through their bond. He seems thoughtful as well, which is a good sign. "I think he likes that!" She twists her head to try to look back at him, her orange eye bright as it meets his blue, burning gaze. "Oceanus." She repeats and the phoenix ruffles his fire-feathers before settling down. Not the nip she's received when she's listed off other names, or the squawk of indignation, so she's pretty sure this is a winner.
Satisfaction eases through Sickle now that this mystery has been solved and her mismatched gaze refocuses on the boy before her.
Even if she didn't get a reply, she hasn't forgotten the idea of him finding a companion of his own. "We gotta repay you for that name somehow. How about we take a look around? Never know if there might be an egg just waiting around to be found?" Her head tilts to the side, her short mane flopping a little as it does - she's eager and full of hope. Hunting around the meadow sounds like a perfect way to distract herself from the other places her thoughts want to drift.
