Chapter Eighteen Page 7
Timothy: Hi, Bianca! This is your place? I like the Christmas decorations still up.
I brought soup ingredients! It’s vegetarian — not vegan. I forgot to ask if any of you had allergies, but I can change it on the fly if I need to.
Sparrow: No allergies here.
Emma: I’m vegetarian, but not vegan, too, so this sounds great!
Bianca: Aw, you don’t have to cook!
Sparrow: Bianca, shh! Don’t ruin this for us!
Emma: I’m Emma. You must be the Cat?
Reseda: Call me Reseda!
Emma: How did you meet Timothy?
Reseda: Ooh, I can’t say.
Emma: So, um . . . what can you talk about?
Reseda: I can tell you why canned food drives are a huge waste and you’re much better off donating cash directly?
… with ad revenue from cute things she would do as cat … or as human?
Yes.
Huh. It’s likely I forgot a detail, but aren’t beings unable to say their master’s name? So, Timothy’s *real* name must be Camellia?
If true, that could imply they’re able to make some distinction as to what the master’s own personal state is.
Beings can’t say whatever name their Master used when taking the Being as theirs. Timothy/Camellia became Reseda’s Master under the name Camellia. I think it was stated that a Master could contract with, say, a username of theirs, and then their Being could call them by their legal name but not that username.
