Earth-that-Was that was. Not your first rodeo.

[She looks him over.]

You're different now. Not the the hair, it was a symbol. Hack it off, out with the old.

[wilder]

[He gives an awkward shrug] Yeah well, sometimes change is good.

...It's a good change, right?

[diomedea]

Not always.

[But she nods a little.]

Better, though. More YOU you, less you.

[wilder]

Heh, that's...a good way of putting it.

[At least it made sense to him? Maybe he should worry]

What about you? I don't think you've said your name yet- so who are you?

[diomedea]

They call her River, it's the label on her skin.

[She tilts her head a bit.]

You're the dog stars, but under that it's Wilder than the sky.

[wilder]

River...pretty name. [Maybe even fitting, but eh. He was never really the poetic type.]

[But there's that star thing again. It doesn't faze him now that Hiro explained about the constellation. There's a slight unnerving chill when she states his real last name. He missed that name, more than he missed "Zelos". He doubted his parents had spent much time picking out his first name. Hell, they probably just grabbed it from the scriptures at random. It wouldn't surprise him. It certainly wasn't fitting.]

[But "Wilder". Ah. Now there was a name he loved even though he knew he shouldn't. Along with everyone else who ever stood under that name]

Heh...you kids have the fanciest ways of saying my name.

But seriously, just "Kaneis" works too.

[diomedea]

You disconnected, she understands. She changed too. She's more than she was, she's not the same. But they still call her River.

[She offers him a small smile.]

She likes it, that's what her Simon calls her. Do you want to be the dog stars or is it a hairshirt? Did you hang the albatross?

[wilder]

[Well, if that's the case- He was about to ask if she wanted to be called something else, but then she mentions Simon liking it]

Oh? Whose Simon?

[Annnnd then that last part makes no sense. Sorry River he's not entirely fluent]

Uh- you might have to be a little clearer about that last part, River.
