Okay, so I lied when I said Memory was Shuurai's final quilen. >_>
Since Dejanira already had blue Portent in the form of Shisa, and RP-wise, Shuurai tends to avoid the color blue, I honestly never planned on her ever taming blue Portent, nor did I ever plan on taming all four of his colors on the same hunter, but, apparently, he had other ideas. I saw him in blue yesterday, gave him two hugs (one to make up for not visiting him on Tuseday) before I went on with my business as usual. Then, last night, I had a dream about him, which never happened with his other three colors. And today was the Ring of Blades, which I gave up on when I came close to throwing my monitor into the nearby wall from being so frustrated with the damn thing.
As soon as I left, I ran into Portent's tracks, which I hadn't seen at all till then, and it made me feel better that I was going to get to give him his daily hug. When I flared him out, my jaw dropped when I saw that he was the blue one I saw from yesterday. Since Shuurai had one slot open from a final rearrangement of her stables, I pondered taming him, and finally decided to with prompting from my best friend.
He became a she, and gained the name Lacuna. She's extremely quiet in comparison to Shuurai's other six quilen, rarely emoting, and she's always watchful, taking her species's reputation as guardians quite seriously. I haven't had her for even an hour, and she's rapidly becoming my favorite quilen.

It's just a name I would associate with college professors and old tea drinking men from Great Britain. So I thought it might be fitting for a turtle looking as wise and old like he does. And the name stuck. I can't see him as something else now.
