She shouldn't laugh; it looks like it hurt, but not only can she not get over how adorable Felix's little twin is, she's pretty sure that what Merlin just said was a name of some sorts.

"Cath Palug II?" she repeats, not entirely sure she's pronounced it right. "Is that his name?" And here she thought he was just an 'annoyance'.

With a smile, Rinoa reaches down, reaching into her pouch for another morsel of food. "Come here, boy. Stop bullying your dad and take some more food, okay? You can't keep hurting him or he'll kick you out, you know?"
