Hnmmnf... Hrnmmnn...

*Sumiho is busy making sounds to himself, sitting in various off-the-ground places. The top of a fence. In a tree. On the school rooftop. Anywhere that means that he's probably like 6+ feet away from touching any solid earth.

He's crossing his arms, like he's stuck in deep thought about something, as he looks out from his vantage point.

Seems like he's really focused!*

She gestures.

"Look, when I left to go duel that alternate Academia, this was not how things were! You and the vassals were from the future! My birth father was complete trash and now he is half that. Serena and Yugo and Yuto DID NOT EXIST. Yuri's here! Do you know what I saw him do?

We did not have all of this cool tech! I'm not saying it's BAD but the whole thing is WEIRD and I didn't get any memories to help me with the adaptations and now everyone thinks I'm worse off than usual! And of COURSE I can't find MY birth mothersister to shake her because I'm better between her and your mom and that magic card lady someone is responsible and I just want to KNOW because it sometimes feels flimsy and that if I keep pushing I am going to break it.

... which now that I think about it, may be my cosmological job..."

*he just nods slightly once in a while. Not even in any definite manner, either.

After she's done talking though...*

That's really a lot of things to take in, you know.

"It is.

But you are also not looking at me like I have grown second head either."

Considering a lot of things, I'd feel like a big hypocrite if I looked at anyone like that.

So I prefer to be pleasantly neutral instead.

"Right.

... but you are not going to give me validation either, are you?"

I can tell you at least that I'll be four this December.

A pause. Then, an excited shriek that sets off dogs and dog-people within a mile radius.

"Good enough, good enough!

Thank you thank you thank you! Sumiho, bender of time, all consuming flame! Ooo, ooo, sitter of high places! Babysat by Trena!"

... she's helping with names at least.

*oh god why do you shriek*

You are definitely not my babysitter.

"Well, fine. Not YET anyway.

... why are names such a big deal for you right now?"

Oh. Just... thinking about names and how they're used, or how they come up.

My siblings have very long names, for example.

"Oh!

Hmmm."

She rubs her chin.

"Like... uh, deed names and stuff? Like in my dad's books he likes to write?"

Essentially like that, yes.

"Aha! I helped him with this stuff sometimes!

Sumiho, Flames of Glory Sitting on the High Tower!"

... ... That's an almost decent name, yes.

"Can be reworked a bit, I think. But is good start...?"

It's a place to start, certainly. Hnmm...

I guess it's just sometimes odd, to think of people who go by titles instead. Right?

"Sometimes? But also if I have learned anything, things get different when you leave earth..."

Well, that's more culture shock than anything else, isn't it?

"And a name shock."

Yes, but I'm talking about people on Earth, anyway.

"Oh.

... I mean, a few people lead with titles, I guess, with royalty and priests...?"

I guess.

And some people who think themselves royalty, I guess.

"But titles are important to your family, yes?

So are you calling them odd...?"

I think that goes without saying that I admit, wholly and without hesitation, that my family is odd, Cardozo.

"No!

Noooo.

... absolutely, actually. You are least weird goose in pond of odd ducks, if this helps.

... beyond the time travel thing."
