[No shit, Nikos thinks, with some mild interest. To say that he cares would be an overstatement. Interest is a better word.]

Good. Because I've no desire to bloat the region with any more relations. Three is enough.

[This is a request, phrased more like a statement, but--]

Remind me of his name.

[indissection]

I am more than happy to agree with you. His arrival would likely indicate my departure.

[ Half because she would run away and half because he might drag her home. ]

Lord Octavian Venaras, of the Mortalitasi order.

[exsecutus]

[He snorts.]

That's right. The one with the stupid name. Octopus.

[ Guess who just found her favourite cousin. ]

I was luckier than he was when it came to names. He tries to go by ‘Tav’.

[exsecutus]

Likely because he was called 'Octopus' too often.

[In the interest of fairness and full disclosure, and nothing else:]

Si-Drone-y. Your voice was too high-pitched to be called a drone, probably. It was just the closest pun. Think it was meant to indicate boredom.

[indissection]

That's a very cruel thing to say, cousin. [ But she says it teasingly, more than anything else. ] And to think, I was settled on naming you my favourite.

[exsecutus]

[Deadpan:] That's a horrible nickname for me.

[And also, gross.]

[indissection]

What would you prefer as a substitute?

[exsecutus]

Nikos.

[indissection]

Tolerable, I suppose, but I must have vengeance for Si-Drone-y.

[exsecutus]

And you want me to do your work for you. Knew we should've gone with Sid-Uncreative-y. Fits a little less, but suits better.

We're too old for nicknames anyways.

[He's absolutely going to call her Si-Drone-y.]

[indissection]

I'm hurt. Truly, you have cut me deep. I'm not sure I will recover at all.

[exsecutus]

Poor wilting flower. Try to get over it. You won't be much use to the Inquisition if you've fainted.

I shall have to ask my mother to send me her salts, just to be certain I can recover.
