Right, but I'm still curious what you would have come up with to suit me.

You have a mystery about you so it could have gone either way.

[noreasonneeded]

You do know that I just call most of my female friends 'dear' right? [He's not super creative in this fashion, Stella.] If you were looking for a name that blends into a Kerch backstory, Tess is pretty. [He has to add a practical element to the game, it's Kaz.]

That's fair, but no, I didn't pick out the name Kaz. No idea why it was given to me, other than it's also a Kerch name. Never felt the need to change it, unless I'm using a false passport.

[aspolyhymnia]

Tess could work. You can use that for me if I ever need fake papers.

[that's some stamp of approval.]

Kaz is nice, though doesn't leave much room for cute little nicknames, does it? Kazzy. No. Kazzle?

[noreasonneeded]

You'll never be short of words to rhyme with the name, either. I'll keep that in mind, regarding papers.

Yes, I'm sure I'll be taken very seriously if called Kazzle. Just Kaz is fine.

[aspolyhymnia]

Come on, Kazzle is a little cute.

[She pouts.]

Just for me, when no one is around?

[noreasonneeded]

That sounds like the name for an actual cat, not a grown man. Or perhaps name one of your pillows it. [He's mostly joking.]

[aspolyhymnia]

My sweet little Kazzle pillow, always up for a cuddle?

Maybe I'll draw a grumpy face on it.

[The teasing is strong.]

[noreasonneeded]

Grumpy isn't my signature look, is it? I thought it was a scheming face.

[He doesn't mind the teasing. Kaz gravitates to those who aren't above teasing him, it makes him feel normal.]

[aspolyhymnia]

It's moody and judgemental either way.

Do I get to hit you with the pillow version of you?

[noreasonneeded]

And satisfied, when a tricky part of a plan is finally figured out.

Just not when I'm holding a beverage, I'd hate to waste it.

[aspolyhymnia]

It needs movable eyebrows so it can do that single brow raise.

I'd never want to waste wine or coffee.

[noreasonneeded]

You seem to know all my facial tricks.

Worse than wine, whiskey. Though I wouldn't want to spoil either.

[aspolyhymnia]

I spend more time looking at your face than you do.

I will preserve all drinks.

[noreasonneeded]

That's probably true, in which case, I hope you tell me if I end up with something on my face.

[aspolyhymnia]

I would. Unless it's a bruise, you probably remember getting those

[noreasonneeded]

I'd worry if I didn't know about a bruise, but toothpaste in the corner of the mouth in the morning before coffee can wake me up enough to see it, or a food slip with something saucy, that's the question.

[aspolyhymnia]

Yes, I would absolutely tell you about toothpaste or sauce.

[noreasonneeded]

I'll return the favor if I spot any port.

[aspolyhymnia]

Thank you.

I'll even offer you a bandage when you're bleeding.

[noreasonneeded]

Appreciated, though while I have a high pain tolerance, if I don't notice I'm bleeding I have another problem to deal with.

[aspolyhymnia]

[She chuckles.]

Probably, yeah.

[noreasonneeded]

You really needn't be that worried about my blood flow, Stella. Ketterdam breeds hardy stock. At least from the stock that survive into adulthood.

[aspolyhymnia]

Further proof you have a beating heart in there.

[noreasonneeded]

Or just a vacuous hole that demonically circulates caffeine and spite. How is that for imagery?

[aspolyhymnia]

Makes me want to see the hole.

Probably not what you were going for.
