Just when I was thinking that things couldn't possibly get worse, Ashmore decided to bring his damn self and friends for a little picnic on the front lawn. Everyone was feeling a sense of dread, and then he just sat there, did nothing. Which made everyone get more uptight. This guy know how to fuck with peoples heads thats for sure

Okay good.

Really? But you aren't seething or drawing your sword? Why are you to India?

[izzy_hicks]

*smiles* Though can I ask you something else? Unrelated?

*thoughtful*

What do you know about reverse psychology? If India thinks I'm cool about this, or that I think Yuffie is a decent guy. She may dismiss him out of hand. But if it seems like I hate the idea, well suddenly Yuffie will seem a lot more interesting to her. Cause of course if big sister hate him, he's definitely the right kind of wrong. Worst that can happen, they hang out for a while decide it was fun but eh. No harm done. He isn't gonna try to kill her or get all psycho on her.

[_penn_]

*nods* I think I understand. So I should pretend that you are not okay with it around her if it is brought up? That way she won't go for something worse? *thinks* Not sure how much sense it makes, but I'll do it.

*tilts his head curiously* Sure, what you do you want to know?

[izzy_hicks]

I know I don't make much sense, but I appreciate you just trusting me on it. It's...it's just a hunch I have on how best to handle this.

*smiles* I got tothinking and I am curious about something, about you. Is Penn your whole name? Is it short for something? Like Izzy is short for Isabella, which I think you knew.

[_penn_]

*nods* Okay, as you wish.

*frowns* Penn is not my whole name. Penn Sunflower is, you knew that.

[izzy_hicks]

*smiles* So Penn itself isn't short for anything.

[_penn_]

*smiles a bit nervously* Not anything I go by.

[izzy_hicks]

*reads his nervousness* So there is an actual name, you just don't use it. And why are you nervous, it's just me, and its just a name. See not a lot of people call me Isabella, or Bella, at least not since I left home. Izzy is a name I use, and I admit I used to be adamant about it. Now a couple people call me the other names, like India and stuff. I think I have gotten past the reasons why the names bothered me.

*smiles* So why don't you go by you real name?

[_penn_]

Because I'm not that boy that was called by that name. He left a long time ago.

*shrugs* That and I was never fond of it to begin with.

*looks at her curiously* Why are you adamant on being called Izzy and not Isabella or Bella?

[izzy_hicks]

*frowns* I'm sorry. I didn't know it was because of a childhood thing. I should have asked.

*sad a little* Kinda the same thing with me. As far as it being a childhood name. Under the terms I left, one of the things I could ditch was the name. Sort of reinvented myself. I didn't want anyone bringing up the past, so I was extremem when I insisted I not be referred to as that.
