It's, um...

[ Bon pauses and sort of rubs at the back of his head with a frown. ]

...kind of embarrassing, and an old nickname from when I was a kid. It's from bocchan, which is a word meaning 'young master'. And with my mom owning an inn and my dad being the head monk, it's... sort of what I am.

[heartandsoul]

...[Okay, she's trying to suppress the grin.

But it's not working.]

That's...that's really cool.

[And it's cute but calling guys cute is the fastest way to piss them off.]

[secondcoolest]

No it's not. It's embarrassing.

[ Damnit. He's just going to... bury his face into this book he pulled down. ]

At least it's better than actually being called bocchan.

[heartandsoul]

I think it's cool!

[And that's final.]

It fits with your cool guy image, too. I'm sort of jealous, I've never had a nickname before.

[Besides.......tiny tits. But can we not get started on that, please.]

[secondcoolest]

[ Ugh fine, think it's cool then, see if he cares.

He glaces up at her at that and pauses, taking a moment to look her over before looking down at the book. ]

We'll get you one.

[heartandsoul]

R-really?

[That makes her so bloody happy one would think that he had just told her he somehow has information that says she maintains a perfect GPA and attendance in school for the rest of her time there.]

[secondcoolest]

[ Oh. ...Oh, wow, okay, sure, get that excited over that's... that's cool. No pressure, Bon. ]

Well, yeah. If ya want one that bad. Shouldn't be hard.

[heartandsoul]

[Can't stop dis moe.]

W-well, I...I don't know, nobody's ever given me a nickname before, like I said.

...Ah...although my friend back home used to call me tiny tits, so...I should say that I've never been given a nickname out of being considered a friend.

[secondcoolest]

[ Yeah okay he didn't actually need to hear that. The reflex is completely involuntary as his eyes drop to her chest and then immediately away again, and there's no way to stop the embarrassed red that creeps across his cheeks. ]

Yeah that's not--

[ AHEM. ]

--Makkan.

[ eureka ]

[heartandsoul]

[Brilliant, Holmes, she didn't notice!]

Makkan?

[She says it a few more times under her breath, testing how it sounds. Then she smiles.]

Makkan...I like it, thank you.

[secondcoolest]

Don't mention it.

[ Bon stands, closing the book as he does, and he moves toward the shelf next to her. A hand finds itself lightly resting on top of her head as he puts the book away.

Totally just there for balance and not because patting her head seemed like the thing to do. ]

Just gotta spread the word on it.
