[cocks head] I didn't say it was your true name. I said it was your True Name. You don't any input on what that is, Mr. Smith.

[be_seeing_you]

What the blazes do you mean by that? What's the difference?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[a small, put-upon sigh] Explaining magic to mortals is so tiresome... Every being has many names. The name they're born with. The name they're given. The names they choose, and that others choose for them. And then there is the name that Fate calls them by. The one on the label below where God has pinned your wings to His corkboard. The name that holds your power. That is your True Name.

[be_seeing_you]

[He recoils in disgust. How? How could it be that Fate itself has labeled him as a number? More horrifying is that he believes it. But who is he supposed to take it up with now? God?]

If that's true then what is yours?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Nunya.

[be_seeing_you]

What kind of name is that?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

The kind that's nunya fucking business.

[be_seeing_you]

[His cheeks go a very deep shade of scarlet. Still, not backing down.]

What's the matter? Afraid I'll announce it to the entire ship?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Yes.

[be_seeing_you]

Hypocrite.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Hardly the worst thing I've been called. Do try harder, next time.

[be_seeing_you]

I won't stoop to your level.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... [grins]

If that's the way you see it.

[be_seeing_you]

Oh, yes. Because you think yourself so above us all, don't you?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Ah, good. Always pleased when one of you proves you understand.

[be_seeing_you]

Why did you really bring us here? Why do you extend kindness to some and cruelty to others? Haven't you got any conscience at all?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Ah. [a small laugh] Asking that question really shows how little you truly understand.

I don't extend anything to anyone. I simply do as I please. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[be_seeing_you]

Look at you. You have such power. And yet this is what you choose to do with it.

You aren't above anyone. You are the lowest of us. I almost pity you.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[smiles]

Feel better?

[be_seeing_you]

Hardly.

I trust you'll use Mr. Smith from now on.

[Not waiting for a reply, he will simply brush past the Captain on his way out.]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[airily] Of course, Number Six.

[be_seeing_you]

[He slows. His fist clench at his sides. The words Ava spoke to him come floating back. It's the reverse this time. Much as he would like to throw a punch, he knows it will change nothing.

He keeps walking.]
