[ Nobody coddled Royce when he was eight and he - turned out... yeah okay, bad example. ]

Or you can let them learn early that life is going to do whatever it can to kick you in the mud, rather than let them believe a lie.

[ That makes him pause! ] That doesn't make what I'm saying less true.

Yes. I've been thinking about that. Not much I can do to stop it.

[ Now he sounds amused. ] No, you've found the source of my childhood trauma, Solomons. My parents named me Duster and I was teased mercilessly for it. That's why I kill people who insult me.

It doesn't matter. Nobody here cares what my name is. Not like they would where I'm from.

Duster was a name I never intended to go by again, but here we are.

Intimidation. Those who know me as Duster tend to realize they've made a mistake by crossing me.

If you want. [ A beat. ] Otherwise, you can call me Royce.

Royce is fine. [ He's gotten used to Duster, here, but. It still reminds him of a time where he was less of a person and more of an animal. ] I'm not going to be angry if you call me Duster, Solomons, it doesn't matter.

[ IT'S SO WEIRD ]

I almost missed it. Surprisingly. Do you think people will be angry that I kept my name a secret? [ Not that he cares, he's just curious. ]

[personal profile] bywolves 2016-07-25 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so as well. I doubt many people think my name is actually Duster, anyway.
bywolves: (just saying.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2016-07-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really care what they think. You and Tifa are fine with it.

[ He takes the time to think about that. ] To an extent. I won't change my actions or my mind for them, though. Do you care?
bywolves: (fuck the what.)

Kesara knows that. [ He's not sure about Emily. ] She understood when I explained the situation with House to her. I don't think I ever got the chance to tell you that.
