[ a flurry of leafy outdoor motion! and it seems to have cut in mid-sentence, or at least mid-shout— ]

—wanted was to know if I had found North yet! [ oh a face!! big dark eyes, huge scowl, and like the biggest, fluffiest hooded jacket ever. ] They were very rude and I would not have minded hurting them, or maybe I would kill them, but they ran away, and now my back hurts. Raafa says people who run away are cowards, and not worth anything. I do not want to see any of them again.

[ a pause, one heavy, frustrated sigh, and then she looks a little bit less pissed. it's good to have that out of her system. no onto what really matters, in the middle of this violent occupation. ]

Also, I want someone to teach me to write.

Oh.

You did not get your own name?

[boughtabookstore]

Small is my family name, which everyone in my family has. Agent is a title that refers to my job.

My personal name is Roslyn.

[flightlessbird]

Then you are Agent Small Roslyn? [ making a face! ] That is very many names.

[boughtabookstore]

[ quietly crying inside ]

... Yes. Yes, it is.

[flightlessbird]

Then I am [ BIRD WHISTLE HERE ], but my personal name is [ HALF OF THAT BIRD WHISTLE. which kind of sounds like "Tika", if you're comparing it to "Artika" ]

[boughtabookstore]

Oh. [ and actually sort of quietly interested ] That's a lovely name. What does it mean?

[flightlessbird]

It does not mean anything, it is only sounds. [ says the girl that was giving ros so much shit about her name not meaning "small" ]

[boughtabookstore]

... Okay.

Well, I like the sounds that make up your name.

[flightlessbird]

Thank you. Yours are not so bad.

[boughtabookstore]

Hm. Thanks.
