[ He snorts out a little laugh as she asks him to pretend he hadn’t asked, but he nods agreeably as he makes a zippering motion over his lips. Question at least answered, so he’ll let it go! ]
Mm, “xiao” is a prefix they use in a district of New Eridu! So, it’d be borrowing it a bit, since I’ve never lived there, but we don’t have anything as versatile, so. It works far better with the names there, though, like Xiao’Zhao?
[ And indeed, with that combination, it does sound cute! It’s definitely similar to the “chan” that she received, from the sounds of it. ]
Though I’m glad you didn’t go with Huggy. Why, it’d be tragic if a nickname gave me the reputation of a cad!
[ …But he’s also a little amused because, like. There’s probably a little truth in that. Maybe not in that sense, but he’s definitely taken up decidedly intimate pursuits as a way of coping with being here. His habits from youth weren’t quite as far as he thought, it turned out…. ]
I assure you, all of my serial hugging is very much mutual~.
[ She doesn't, but that's a different world and different culture she knows nothing about. Not unlike with the -chan suffix, really. Maybe she likes chan because it is tied to valuable memories? That means she'd probably end up liking xiao for the same reasons, buuuuut one nickname is enough. ]
Maybe I should, if it got you less often in troubles with dangerous people.
[ Like a certain red-head! Though now that she thinks about it, she hasn't seen him in a while... Is he one of the disappeared too, she wonders? That means she's the only one left to represent her homeworld if so.
Or would be - but she has yet to meet with the most annoying of all gods. ]
For now, your serial hugging shall be put on hold as we do your nails. I don't know how you do them usually, but here you'll have only the best and most amazing treatment a goddess can provide!
