how do you pick a name for something?

( in the continuing theme of Kate posts, this has no explanation of why she wants to know, nor in any way contains anything that would be useful in getting people to help her name her new business. )

( yeah she's staying text though. better to think through her answer with. )

business bureau don't agree with you.

( but god it is so tempting. how is a fucking name this hard? )

be glad it's voice not video

[silky_bearing]

Business Bureau? Ah- yes I find there are many more regulations required here.... is there anything to say you cannot change it later?

[Ye Olde boy just thinks you should repaint the sign, no big deal.]

fair but he is very pretty

[morns]

( i mean there probably is a magic spell to make it easier but unfortunately there's one thing that never will be; )

no.
just more forms.

( so many forms. ugh, this better be a worthwhile endeavour or she's making Rei pay her the money she invested in doing this back. )

that he is

[silky_bearing]

I see.... that does make it troublesome, doesn't it.

Literary references are always a good way to turn...?

[morns]

aye?
what would you use for a gym, then?

( she's more of a non-fiction gal, really. )

[silky_bearing]

Perhaps a reference to the trainer of a classical hero or a field of battle... Tailtean where I am from would be an option but I don't expect that to mean anything to you.

[morns]

fraid not.

( but hey, she doesn't hate letting other people talk about shit, so... )

who's tailtean?

[silky_bearing]

Ah.... it is a place, not a person. A field of battle that decided the fate of kingdoms, centuries ago.

[morns]

( welp. the-more-you-know.gif )

i see.

( she has vague memories of her teachers trying to talk to her about things like that back home. she listened to exactly none of it.

sometimes she wonders if she should have, but it's too late now. )

you enjoy those kinds of books?

( about historical battles and things? )

[silky_bearing]

I have, honestly, yet to find a kind of book I dislike. Different purposes between them all, I suppose but there is use in all kinds if you know where to look.

[Even the romance novels and poetry Father always reprimanded him for.]

[morns]

( sorry, Lorenz, but she got one conclusion from this; )

so you're a nerd.

( not that it's a BAD thing but god that's. there seriously isn't one you dislike? at all? )

[silky_bearing]

An unbecoming assessment but, I suppose, not entirely inaccurate.

[Look, he's dragon!Catholic and the Archbishop has destroyed knowledge of the printing press multiple times. When everything is handwritten everything that is written is important.

So no, not really. Sure some of the Faerghan fables are a bit... violent but that's to be expected from the Kingdom.]

[morns]

( yeah, she knew she was right. no one who uses the phrase "not entirely inaccurate" is not a nerd. that's just the law.

though she would at least understand that he thinks things like that are important, were she to know the circumstances. )

didn't say it was a bad thing. just said you were one.

[silky_bearing]

I was under the impression it was a derogatory term for academics...?

[Modern slang is a nightmare okay.]

[morns]

guess it can be.

( she's used it that way too. usually at her brother. )

doesn't have to be. just means you're smart and you like being smart.

[silky_bearing]

Well. Who in the world wouldn't want to be smart?

[A thought crosses his mind, a certain redhead that tried so desperately to make sure everyone thought him a fool.]

Save for it's use in getting others to underestimate you, I suppose.

[morns]

( trust, Lorenz, you do not want to meet some of the population where she's from. anti-intellectualism is real. it's a rant she's heard one too many times from her brother. )

seems like a lot of thinking to me.

( yeah, because you neeeever overthink anything, do you, Kitkat? )

[silky_bearing]

If one is to be thinking regardless it is best to have a productive topic to focus on, I find.

[Overthinking in circles results in anxiety and panic attacks. Better to bury himself in Work and Research and things that are actually Important. ]

[morns]

keeping yourself moving works too.

( clearly her preferred method, ergo the gym business. )

[silky_bearing]

Would that such things offered me the same sort of reprieve.

[morns]

you ever tried parkour?

( is this a shameless plug of her gym? ...nyaas but she's also being genuine. it was a big help to her when she was a teenager, trying her best to keep herself from falling apart. hard to think when you're concentrating on the path from one building to the next. )

[silky_bearing]

I'm afraid I've never heard of it but now I'll admit you have my curiosity piqued.

[Something that is not going through the same old motions. As sharp as one's focus must be on the battlefield he has trained so long and so diligently that there's hardly a thought behind most of the motions anymore.]

[morns]

( you know, she's explained this so many times now she has the video ready to go. )

it's where you run courses with obstacles like walls or buildings.

( combination gymnastics and running, perfectly easy right? )
