Got roped into helping my shitty geezer of a god, 'cause he's a moron who can't stay out of trouble.
[it's said in the same sort of exasperated tone that white has when he calls mineo an idiot. that is, not exactly without fondness.]
... Well, I can't complain too much about him being a bleeding heart, since he's the reason I made it out alive that day. We were enemies, but he still chose to protect me.
[lessa saw something in white worth saving, so what he could hope to do but try and repay that kindness?]

I'm glad he did. [genuinely and sincerely]

... Feels more like babysitting sometimes, but... me too, I guess.

... we don't really know what path life'll take us, right?
[a beat]
... you sure you don't want me to use your real name at all? I'll call you whatever you want, so...
no subject
It's hard to make something that doesn't sound lame out of my name. Something like "Freddy"...?
[he shrugs.]
Either way, I'm pretty used to White, even if it's not really a name.

[it is a weird name but - ]
... I'll keep calling you White but - I won't forget what you've trusted me with either.
no subject
[he already suffers enough from lessa's chronic inability to not call him that!!
also, mineo being so serious about this is making him feel awkward, so—]
... Yeah, consider it an honour! But, uh, you also don't have to remember, either.
