Treíko:

I give a warm smile at my little rose and say, "Well, since you asked so nicely it's Treíko or Tre for short, although I don't think it suits me, I think I'm more of a Sebastian or a Joseph or something.." I say in a bit of a comical tone, acting in a way I only ever showed to my sister. Still joking, but not at other's expense. Still me but..... friendlier....... and more vulnerable.... and less powerful...... I clear my throat then return to how I normally act, saying, "Well my cute little rose, may I have the pleasure of your name as well?" as I mentally scold myself.
