"We never settled on a name," Feris observed, a few minutes llater. "For the lil lizard"
The lizard, which had spent the entire Kenzo discussion lying in the recovery position, opened one eye.
"We partially finished it. Decisively, I am not being called Beef."
"I said Beef Stewart-"
"That's worse. You've added a surname. Now there's a Stewart family. Whoever got that name, I feel nothing but pity for them."
Arashi came off the couch with the air of a man returning to unfinished legal business. "Right. I'm formally re-tabling Sir Jonathan."
"Denied."
"Hear the argument—"
"I have heard the argument. It hasn't improved."
"You were a dragon." Arashi spread his arms wide enough to hit Keahi. "A dragon! You need a name with weight behind it. Something people say slowly. Sir Jonathan has gravity. Sir Jonathan has-."
"Sir Jonathan has a boat," Ichiro said.
"That was funny once."
"It'll be funny again in a minute, give it time."
