[voreaciously]

Which name do you prefer now?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Dusk.

Washington is a codename. At least, I doubt the Director really found a bunch of people who just so happened to have state names. Doesn't make sense to use it if I'm not with that team.

[Unless you went crazy and had to do some severe coping gymnastics.]

[voreaciously]

It would have been fine to prefer a codename as it were, but very well, I will keep that in mind.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Maybe if I liked it and it was that versus my normal name.

But I'm with Clover, so it's important to have a Clover name. At least to me.

[voreaciously]

As you like. Your name is yours to choose, I am not about to argue the contrary.

[schrodingerscockroach]

A good policy, that. Names are pretty important.

[voreaciously]

Yes. They are.

[She feels very strongly about this, to be perfectly honest and though her voice remains calm and polite, there is an undeniable underlying firmness.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Looks at her curiously. That is a firmness to it.] Huh.

Is that why you don't like using names without formality?

[voreaciously]

No. I do that because I do not wish to be impolite.

[also distance is good]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Even when people say it's okay?

[voreaciously]

Even so. It is not proper to be so familiar from the outset.

[schrodingerscockroach]

And what constitutes the outset?

[voreaciously]

Being newly acquainted.

[schrodingerscockroach]

So are we at the point of just Dusk then?

I mean, you've literally had your hands in my chest now.

[voreaciously]

It is my duty to be useful, so that would not warrant a change of address. It is simply in my nature to be formal, at any rate.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's also pretty sure their acquaintanceship isn't even new.]

Well, I'd be fine with it. Not needing to be formal.

[voreaciously]

Duly noted, Dusk-han.

[that's a no, chief.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

I'll get you to admit we're strong acquaintances one day.

[voreaciously]

No. You will not.

[wtih deceptive firmness.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Time changes all things.

[voreaciously]

No. Not all things.

[schrodingerscockroach]

What doesn't?

[voreaciously]

It does not matter, really. If you think they do, then that is fine.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Less think as more acknowledging the unavoidable progression of events and how things either change or stagnate into irrelevancy.

[voreaciously]

As you say.

[nah]

I believe I have taken up more than enough of your time.
