GGaD » [@GalaxE] Just one more day at a domain

SpecterTheGreat · November 5, 2020 12:38:57

He seemed thoughtful.
"It was while I was still at my sister's. Think she wanted to see for how long I could hold out against double opponents."

GalaxianExplosion · November 5, 2020 12:57:58

Nagesh laughs. "So, how long did you hold out, then? As long as you hoped, I hope?"

SpecterTheGreat · November 5, 2020 13:13:56

"I'd say I did pretty well. My sister was pleased, at least." He grinned.

GalaxianExplosion · November 5, 2020 13:29:32

"That's good. But in a real battlefield, I'd say there are usually many more people on the offensive. However, that's relatively...well, that requires training," Nagesh says with a laugh, "which you know already, so I didn't need to repeat that."

SpecterTheGreat · November 5, 2020 13:49:25

"Of course. I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone if it comes to that," he commented, emphasizing his words with a nod and a lighter smile.

GalaxianExplosion · November 6, 2020 02:54:58

"Well, I--" Nagesh stops. He laughs with a small shrug. "I'm talking too much. I'm sorry. I think without me saying anything, you already know what to do. No use for me to repeat what you already know."

SpecterTheGreat · November 6, 2020 14:40:44

"True. But I don't mind hearing the same thing over and over, really," he said.

GalaxianExplosion · November 6, 2020 14:58:55

"Then, maybe a parrot would be a suitable companion," Nagesh jokes. He obviously likes joking.

SpecterTheGreat · November 7, 2020 09:18:44

"That would be adorable to some extent, I think," Allen laughed back.

GalaxianExplosion · November 7, 2020 17:02:57

"Well, I suppose that is something to keep in mind for the future, then," Nagesh says with a grin. "For now, I substitute the parrot."

SpecterTheGreat · November 7, 2020 21:57:15

((Okay so THAT made me laugh too hard XD))

"Oh--" Allen said the word between a short burst of laughter. He took his hand to his mouth as a reflex to stop himself, but a merry grin remained.

GalaxianExplosion · November 7, 2020 23:49:49

Nagesh laughs softly and briefly but heartily as well.
"What would you name it?" he asks, his smile in his eyes.

SpecterTheGreat · November 8, 2020 14:31:31

"That's something I haven't though about. Probably wouldn't name it Polly."

GalaxianExplosion · November 8, 2020 14:33:57

"Polly seems like a nice name."
From where Nagesh came from, there really was not the cliche of parrots being named Polly, so his opinion is technically founded on little knowledge.

SpecterTheGreat · November 8, 2020 15:44:29

"Oh, it is. It's simply a far too common name for parrots, at least from my experience. I'd like something more unique."

GalaxianExplosion · November 8, 2020 16:14:50

"Oh, it's common?" Nagesh is duly surprised. "I see."

SpecterTheGreat · November 8, 2020 16:18:51

"Well, maybe not everywhere," Allen considered.

GalaxianExplosion · November 8, 2020 23:28:12

Nagesh nods thoughtfully.

SpecterTheGreat · November 9, 2020 09:24:58

"And what about you? What would you name a parrot, if you had one?"

GalaxianExplosion · November 9, 2020 10:17:07

"I'm not sure." Nagesh ponders that, nearly pausing in his gait to think. "Perhaps some name that would be seen as fitting for myself by others." He looks up at the sky briefly, as if looking for birds. "Kiaan, perhaps."
Bruh. xD

SpecterTheGreat · November 9, 2020 10:41:16

((Oh my XD))

"Kiaan," Allen echoed. "That's an interesting name."

GalaxianExplosion · November 9, 2020 12:06:44

"It is," Nagesh agrees. "I'm not quite sure why others think I fit that name, however."
You're right. Your parrot wouldn't fit it either, because the narrator's currently stuck with the impression of this absurdly colored parrot that likes coffee and says nothing.

SpecterTheGreat · November 9, 2020 12:18:38

"And who may these 'others' be that you mention?" He asked. "If you're fine with answering, of course."

GalaxianExplosion · November 9, 2020 13:54:47

"Oh, not at all. They were some of my other friends," Nagesh answers. "Apparently, 'Kiaan' as a name fit me more to the point they called me that instead of 'Nagesh' most of the time."

SpecterTheGreat · November 9, 2020 14:33:47

"How curious. I hadn't heard of a similar thing before. Of course, nicknames exist, but I wasn't aware that people could 'rename' their friends like that."

GalaxianExplosion · November 24, 2020 20:32:13

"Well, 'what's in a name?', I suppose," Nagesh answers. He apologizes quickly once he realizes he's stopped moving and restarts his gait. "Do you have nicknames or perhaps some name that resonates with you other than 'Allen'? Or perhaps the name 'Allen' suits you well enough for you?"

SpecterTheGreat · November 24, 2020 22:50:45

"It's not something I pay much attention to, really," he said with a movement of his eyes that showed he was thoughful. "I have not really been nicknamed much at all. As for other names, sometimes I think perhaps another one would have suited me better. I'm fine with my current one; after all, it is 'plain and sensible'." Allen smiled at the end. The way he said that last part was as if he quoted somebody.

GalaxianExplosion · November 24, 2020 22:58:50

"I guess both of our names are hard to come up with nicknames. For you, it'd merely be a shortening to 'Al' or 'All', perhaps?"

SpecterTheGreat · November 24, 2020 23:03:00

Allen laughed briefly and took a hand to fix his bangs again.
"Could be, could be. I've always thought that sounds strange. Not that I'm opposed to being called by those nicknames." He half-grinned for a second before returning to a more neutral expression. "If it's about nicknames, then 'Ally' is the one I'm used to the most."

GalaxianExplosion · November 24, 2020 23:19:37

"Ah, Ally," Nagesh echoes. By some token of a thought, he entertains the notion of adding "y" to his name and nearly laughs. He has no such restrictions on a wide grin, though.
Nageshy. Shy. Slushy.
