JUST STANDING WAITING FOR THE PUNCHES
Tomorrow knew a bit about names; he knew they held power, he knew they meant a lot and he knew that it was refreshing to change a name when the previous one held pain. His current name might be a bit odd, but it was... Comforting, in a weird way; a reminder there was always tomorrow, and to keep moving forward. He'd live to see another day, no matter what happened.
Though most preferred to go by the names they were given at birth, Tomorrow didn't discriminate against people who changed their names. Different people, different lives and wants and all that. Still, there was always a hint of sadness when he saw someone so young going by a name their parents didn't offer them; the idea one so young and pure had a life so tarnished and difficult to see it necessary to go by something else was... Sad.
Tomorrow was currently warming his hands by the fire, and heard the commotion as Ellie tugged what looked like a small child into the building. Brendan was on them immediately, eyes sharp and intelligent in a way that Tomorrow thought was distinctly Brendan-like.
He reached down to grab Claire's scruff as the pregnant dog looked up, eager to greet the newcomer. He didn't want her rushing over and crowding the poor kid.
"They look nearly frozen." Tomorrow commented under his breath sympathetically as he stood up and moved closer, careful to stay a few feet away as Claire strained in his grip and sniffed in the direction of Ellie and the kid.
"C'mon in and sit down, would you like some food?" Tomorrow asked with a small smile; many people came to the Lodge half starving, it would be no surprise if the child was hungry from their journey.
