Point-of-View: Alkimia Alchy
———————————————————————————
"So, hey, I've been wondering this whole time, about your name," Remarked Ciel curiously.
Huh, honestly, I'm surprised no one's brought this up sooner.
"Yeah, I think I know what you want to ask. No, this isn't my original name, I picked it for myself when I reincarnated. I know, it's a bit on the nose," I replied with a wry smile.
"Heh, yeah, that makes more sense. It'd be a crazy coincidence to have chemistry-based powers with your name," She laughed in response.
It sure would. I picked my first name based on the root of the word chemistry, which is traced back to the Arabic word Al-Kimiya and the Ancient Greek term Khēmeia.
As for my last name, well...yeah, I didn't put much thought into that one, I just shortened the word alchemy to get Alchy. In hindsight, maybe I should've thought it through a bit more, it phonetically sounds like alkie, the slang term for alcoholics.
