The Longest Day[]
- When Lusa sees Toklo at the Longest Day Gathering, she sees Aiyanna playing tag with a cub, and she asks if she is his. Toklo nods and says that she is called Oka, and he blocks Oka's path as she hurtles toward him and he scoops her up into a hug, nuzzling her lovingly. Lusa recognizes Aiyanna's face in the cub, as well as Toklo's solemn gaze, and she introduces herself as an old friend of her father as Toklo lets his daughter slither to the ground. Oka shyly murmurs that she is Lusa, and Toklo says that they told her all about her, Kallik, and Yakone. Miki comes toward them and Lusa shows Toklo her cubs, and Aiyana trots to meet them, Oka at her heels.
- When Toklo and Lusa find Kallik, her son, Chulyin, gazes at Yogi, Ashia, and Oka, and he asks what they are doing. Toklo explains that Oka is his daughter and Chulyin goes to play with them, his brother Suka following. Kallik notes that Toklo named his daughter after his mother.
