To name him Saxe? Foxes are weak, and even the strongest among them are crushed easily once caught, and he wishes to name it kin?

To name it an Ash is an insult to whatever Ashes you bring in the future it was clear she wasn't happy with it, but she wasn't revoking his right to claim the fox either. Fine. It's yours to do with what you will There was a finality to her voice, Ashes were just barely better than slaves anyway.

Who cares if they were insulted?

Nephthys expects the fox to die, now or later, what does it matter? Ashes won't have the protection that the Sparks do, and they belong to the Dominion in any case.
