There! I-

[Locked from Eridan]

-did it! Good. That'll keep him from listening in on this. Thanks, Genis. I owe you one.

[Yup, somebody begged his best friend to show him how to lock. That done, he turns his attention on the Dreamberry - and Somarium in general by extension. His expression is very serious, and perhaps a little chagrined.]

Hey, everyone. I... kind of need some help. I need to get stronger, so I need to train, but I also need help learning how to fight magic users. [He makes a face.] Especially magic users that can fly.

[No, he's not talking about anyone in specific. What makes you think that?]

Does anyone want to spar? Or have any advice?

...I don't think I get it.

[He shakes his head, then smiles.]

But even if I don't, I still think you're a person. Maybe you're a little different, but you're still you, and you have feelings and a name and a face. That's what's important, right?

I think I'll call you Elizabeth, though. [Sheepish grin.] "Hungry" makes it sound like you want more food.

Hungary. ( she doesn't mind just. she's heard that joke a few too many times, she has to automatically correct him. ) And, well… thank you. Not everyone says such kind things about us.

[redcladidealist]

Oh. [Hadn't realized he'd been mispronouncing it. Oops. Just a little embarrassed now.] Hun...gary. Got it.

...can I still call you Elizabeth? [He doesn't trust himself not to slip again.]

You're welcome. More than welcome, in fact. I think anyone should say the same thing.

You can call me whatever makes you comfortable. I don't really mind.

Hah, it's not like people are unkind, just that a lot of people like to argue and say it's impossible and things like that. I'm more used to people knowing what I am…

[redcladidealist]

I like Elizabeth. It's a pretty name. [And it doesn't make him think of chicken or get mangled when he tries to say it.]

I can't say I really understand either, but does it really matter? It's not going to change how I talk to you. You're the person you are, no matter what you are.

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

I like it too. That's why I picked it.

Yes, I think so too.

[redcladidealist]

All right, then, Elizabeth it is! It's nice to meet you, Elizabeth!

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you too, - er?

Lloyd Irving.

[He'd said his name once, but their conversation's gotten pretty sidetracked since then.]

But you can just call me Lloyd.
