Geralt mentioned going out looking for a nest. Some sort of avian beast.

[ She's trying to remember the actual name... if Geralt had mentioned it. He might've, in passing. It certainly was not "Geralt Junior."

Why is Dean like this. ]

You found something else there?

[righteously]

Bingo. That's the one.
Told that son of a bitch that since he discovered it he got to name it, but he wouldn't, so I took the liberty.

They're Geralt Juniors.

( Never mind that they actually have a name — he doesn't know what it is and Geralt hasn't corrected him. It's too late now. It stuck. )

But yeah, we found a freaky ceiling lizard dog.

[wiedzminka]

Of course you did.

And the "ceiling lizard dog" is the Geralt Junior Junior, even though it's not one of the birds?

[ Dean, why are you like this. ]

[righteously]

That name's temporary, I don't know if it's gonna stick. It was kind of spur of the moment.

[wiedzminka]

No. Too confusing.

That one's a Dean Junior, for sure.

[righteously]

Woah woah woah
You weren't there, you don't get naming rights

[wiedzminka]

Then show me.

I'm not afraid of any Dean Junior Ceiling Dogs.

[righteously]

Sure would love to, but it's dead. Take it up with your pops.

Come to think of it, he might've brought home the tail.

[wiedzminka]

If he took home the trophy, he gets naming rights.

But the only name he knows is "Roach," and it's for horses.

Meaning: logically, I take over naming rights, and it becomes Dean Junior.

[righteously]

What the hell
No friggin way
That's not how that works, you don't get to INHERIT naming rights, this isn't a friggin aristocracy

[wiedzminka]

It's fine.

Geralt won't mind.

[righteously]

So what?! He doesn't make the rules

[wiedzminka]

Who makes the rules?

[righteously]

I don't know, they're just
The rules
It's like physics, they just ARE
Look, if I gotta explain them to you, you obviously don't get it, so you're disqualified from the naming things council

[wiedzminka]

So are they immutable laws of existence, like physics?

Or council-based, like village elders?

Keep your story straight, Dean. I'm beginning to think these rules might not exist at all!

[righteously]

Hardy har har, smartass
Look, the next time me and you go hunting and we run into something weird, sure, the name's all yours
But if we're calling something Dean Junior it's gonna have to be a lot more awesome than a freakin' ceiling lizard, that's all I'm saying

[wiedzminka]

And here I thought it suited you.

But perhaps something like a zeugl is more like you. At least by the smell.

[ Yes. She has resorted to calling Dean stinky. It's his own fault. ]

[righteously]

I smell freakin delightful, you shut your face

[wiedzminka]

Shut my face and pinch my nose. Good advice.

I'll go ask Geralt about the Dean Junior tail. Eager to see your legacy.

[ And get Geralt to start calling it that too, if he'll go along with it. Could be fun.

Ciri's content to let Dean yell about it a while longer if he wishes to, but she done responding for now, and feeling pretty amused about the whole thing. The part about agreeing to get that anti-possession tattoo is already practically forgotten. A problem for future Ciri to deal with. ]

[righteously]

I hate you

( that's it that's the end )
