Hello, my friends. And my total strangers.

[ Those are the only two options. Enemies are for other people. Unless someone considers anyone with an Orlesian accent—and not even a particularly noble one, from the vowels—to be an enemy. Or maybe anyone who sounds too pleasant on a Sunday morning. In that case: swords at dawn. ]

I was thinking about how many popular heroes have a sobriquet. The Black Fox, now the Black Hart. The Nightingale.

Now that I am saying them aloud, they are mostly animals.

Setting aside how arrogant it would be to give one to yourself. If you could choose a pretentious epithet for the history books, or one for your friends—

It does not have to be an animal.

[ Yes it does. ]

The Raven Twins. The Twin Ravens.

[ Testing. Twin Ravens is definitely better. ]

—what sort of stories?

[writteninblood]

Dalish sorts, of course. All about secrets and ancient, lost gods.

-- and 'Twin Ravens' is terrible, I'm only one elf, how should I have a name that's two things? Be sensible.

[cozen]

You would not bring your twin along for your adventures?

[ Say it isn't so. ]

[writteninblood]

If you think I get to decide where Beleth goes or what silly animal name she gets, you probably don't know her very well.

[He could have total control if he cared to assert himself, and knows it, and yet having now made the argument to the contrary cannot ever admit it.]

[arlathvhen]

I already picked a silly flower name for myself.

[ Busts in here like whattup. ]

[writteninblood]

You see? You see what I live with?

[He loves her so much.]

[cozen]

[ He does not know her at all, he was about to say, but here she is. So now he knows a little. ]

If your twin has already chosen a name, you must choose one to match. If you do not match everyone will be confused.

[arlathvhen]

This man is quite right. You'll have to pick a silly flower name, Sorrel.

[ The joke is he already has a silly lettuce name. ]

[writteninblood]

Confusion it is, then!
