[ Truthfully, he would call her by whatever name she gave him, as long as it meant having her still with him. There is a part of him that expects she will take her leave as soon as he is able to stand and walk on his own. She has no obligation to stay, and he is not about to force her to if she wishes to leave.
It makes him smile in return to see the smile tugging at her lips; and then he sees the way her eyes and ears both seem to snap to attention, and his eyes meet hers immediately. As far as he is concerned, she is Lantaa, and Phya, and her ancient self, and he loves each one of them as parts of what makes her who she is.
She may be different now, but he can still see her as the woman he fell in love with and continues to love even now. That is one thing that he does not see changing.
His eyes follow her as she slides from the bed, moving to sit beside it, and he smiles once more when she rests her head next to his arm. He would move to place his hand on top of her head, but moving would also mean disturbing her, and so he decides against it. ]
Then I shall have to do it more, won't I? [ The smile he gives her is his widest one yet, and it is filled with all the love that he can manage to summon. ]
