[ah, this is familiar. tugs at Charon, whether he's human or dragon here, and goes to sit next to Minuet in the shade under the tree]

It's happened a few times, here and back home. Maybe those don't all count as possession? People trying to get into your head or puppet your body.

And my mental stats are just really bad, so it can't be helped. If someone uses an A-Rank skill on an F-Class, I obviously don't stand a chance.

[he’s a human here, by habit if nothing else; if that changes it will change later. all of them can sit shoulder to shoulder out of the sun]

We have got to figure out how to get you past a regular human’s limits at some point. I am very worried about you sometimes.

I'm with Charon on this. The fact that it's happened enough times to talk about it in generalities kinda makes me queasy . . .

It's not a big deal. I mean, it was at the time, but there's no need to fuss about stuff that's in the past. We were going to share names, weren't we?

[shares a look with Minuet like ‘why is he like this’]

Names.

[ Minuet the Stampede will remember this ]

Names.

[ A pause while he tries to figure out how much fanfare this requires. His preference is 'not much,' so: ]

. . . It's Vash.

Vash, hmm.

[looks him over for a second before nodding in approval]

It suits you. I'm Han Yoojin. Well, we're pretty casual here, so just Yoojin is fine.

[looks at both of them, sober, like he’s fixing the new names into place in his memory]

…Albert Silverberg.

Yoojin . . .

[ He enunciates it slowly like the idiot English-speaker he is, making sure he gets it right.

Then he glances at Charon ]

Now that's a proper fancy, rich boy name.

It's French!

[it's germanic, but he's got the spirit]

You'd fit right in at a fancy villa in Europe, Albert.

[dryly]

I am a fancy rich boy. You both knew that already.

…my family name means a lot to me, however. I’m glad to have it back. And to finally be introduced to you both properly.

It sounds strong, which is fitting.

And 'Yoojin' sounds kind, somehow.

[laughs]

Don't make stuff up. It's just a name. There isn't a single symbol for kindness anywhere in it.

Still, it feels a little uneven for me and Charon to give our last names and not you. If you don't have one you should make one up.

No, he’s right. It does sound kind.

[he doesn’t push the last names thing but he does reach over to hold both their hands again]

Your names suit you both very well.

[ Aaaaaaa... taking both their hands too, then ]

Ah, well, I don't have a family name . . . but "Vash the Stampede" is what I was known by.

You're both biased. Though, I guess to me Albert Silverberg does sound regal and important...I wouldn't be overthinking it this much if we'd been able to introduce ourselves from the start.

[gets a doofy little smile on his face at hand...holding.../// until he pulls a face at Vash's name]

Vash Stampede is too American, though. Rejected.

It works better with the ‘the,’ somehow. You are something of a force of nature.

I barely even know what America is!!

[ HMPH ]

There's "the Humanoid Typhoon," too.

That's bad too! Just have a normal last name. Vash...

[what's a normal last name]

...Smith.

…surnames aren’t really a requirement, you know…

Most people where I’m from don’t have them unless they’re titled.

[ Sarcastically ]

Guess it'll just have to wait til I'm somebody's bride.

Don't be silly. You're a groom, not a bride.

[gives a shrug]

It isn't a requirement. It's just fun to think about.

[goes quiet for a too-long pause, just now realizing that Minuet might be secretly hung up on his lack of surname or something]

--But if I offended you, or it goes against your culture, uhm, sorry. You can forget I mentioned it.

[if they’re paying attention they both see Charon’s expression go ‘:X’ for a second but he doesn’t say anything

possibly he is cursing Fantasia internally for making him think about marriage in the first place, years too early]

[ Wow Charon must dislike the concept of marriage!!! That checks out!!!

Both his hands are occupied, so he elbows Lethe gently to make sure he doesn't take it too seriously ]

I can be a bride if I want to. My surname could also just be 'Minuet Bluebell.'

[Charon must not want Minuet to have a surname that isn't Silverberg. that checks out!!!]

Being a bride would be better than you picking your own surname if that's how you're going to choose.
