Nepione shook her head at Gale, loosing a quiet laugh before she reached out with her other hand to give Scratch some much-deserved pats. Only the best of pets for the very best of boys. Patiently waiting as Gale reached into some extra-dimensional concept that she could only just barely wrap her mind around, the tiefling eyed him about as expectantly as the dog who simply wanted his toy back, and a good, proper fetching throw, at that.

At his question, she paused just a moment before she was all laughs all over again, stifling the sound against the back of her hand. Of course that was what he got hung up on. Never mind the dog toy. It was because he thought he needed to be Father Number One.

"For the love of Selûne," she began, nipping into her lower lip to keep herself from smiling too grandly. Loosing a breath as she attempted to compose herself, she offered him one more reassuring pat, though he seemed relatively on his feet and he was probably going to stay that way. And if he didn't for some reason, she'd do her best to catch him. "It's nothing so profound. I decided to title us all by the order in which we met. Suffice it to say, Gale, your hand was not first I touched on this little journey of ours. It's only a number. Has no relevant meaning beyond that. Scratch loves all of you unconditionally and equally."
