Cyril blinks, because he realizes the name is a tribute to the adult Sina and that causes a lot of emotions to happen all at once. "Did you tell Sina that?" he asks, trying to imagine how she would have reacted.
"She knows my intent. I haven't had time to tell her it's definitely a girl. I just found out." A huff. "Cy, what comes next? City life is much harder for elves than clan life. They duck their heads and avert their eyes when humans pass by. And it must be at least as dangerous to settle in the country."
"I don't know, Pel," he admits after a moment. "For all we know, the world might end before we have to figure it out." He knows that's a rather dark way of thinking, but he's being honest right now.
"The only thing I know for sure is that you and little Sina won't be alone. I'll be here to help you, in any way that I can."
