Day 1

[faintwaves]

Everyone naming their goats is making me wonder something...

Do you ever wonder about your own names? Like...where they came from?

I mean, I'm Scottish, but my last name is French. And I don't even know what Xion is supposed to be. Sometimes I wonder what my parents were even thinking when they called me that.

Honesty and fair play doesn't relate to emotions or goats.

And suddenly you're an expert on animals? Mr. "I run screaming from the thought of taking care of even a flobberworm".

[bonafide_divinity]

No, but loyalty might.

And I did not run screaming from the idea of flobberworms. There was no room for Care of Magical Creatures.

[euuuggghh... Flobberworms]

[faintwaves]

...Right.

I'm only loyal to people I know and have earned it.

[Yeah she fully recognizes a guilt trip tactic when she sees it. Pick it up, man, she's had 15 years of it.]

We can call it Tulip if it's a girl.

[bonafide_divinity]

That sounds like very conditional loyalty, Xion.

[And kind of like how he operates. Weird. ]

And fine. It's Tulip if it's a girl and Greg if it's a boy.

[faintwaves]

Practical. Not conditional. Once you have it, you'll never lose it...

[This is a weird thing to talk about with a Slytherin. Time to change the subject!]

In that case, she'd be sort of named after you, you know?

[bonafide_divinity]

Wait.

Why would you name a female goat after me?

[faintwaves]

No, I just like tulips. It's a coincidence that it sounds like your name.

[bonafide_divinity]

Right.

Tulips are very nice. Tulip is a perfectly valid name for a female goat.
