Note 8

[bingotothat]

There's such a lack of things to do around here besides reread my old textbooks, although Mum has said that we should go visit Gran. Huh, I don't really know about that, though. She's been kind of strange and morbid since Granddad died. Ahh, I don't know what to do. I wish it was September already

Does he beat a very brave retreat?

[bingotothat]

He's the bravest of the brave, my cat Sir Robin!

[b_abyshark]

I like it!

[bingotothat]

Thanks! Your suggestion really helped along the idea of naming him something dignified! Well, at least it's dignified if no one catches the reference anyway.

Oh, by the way, I don't think I caught your name. I'm Botan, nice to meet you!

[b_abyshark]

I'm glad I could help!

It's nice to meet you, I'm Akito! If I seem really cranky than that's Agito and if I seem like a loser face, that's a loser face named Lind.

[bingotothat]

You've got different personalities? I've never met someone with different personalities before! I'll be sure to remember that, thanks.

[smilingtennis]

Brave Sir Robin? Saa, isn't that from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

And I'm sure your cat isn't dumb, just stubborn.

[bingotothat]

Bingo! It is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

That is a possibility, but since I suspect that he has some brain damage, well...ah. It doesn't matter! He's a good cat, anyway.

[smilingtennis]

Thought so. Is he as brave as the real Brave Sir Robin?

Saa, if you want to tame him a bit, you could always try rewarding him with food every time he listens or does something right. That's how I trained my cat.

[bingotothat]

Actually, he's quite brave, but my Dad thought it would be silly and ironic to name him that.

I see...thanks! I've never had a pet before, so it's always good to get some tips.

[bingotothat]

What on earth are those scribbles? No, not at all, at least not compared to other names I've seen for pets. I just mean it's ironic and if he was a human he would gripe that his mummy ruined his life by naming him after a movie character that wasn't actually as brave as his name entailed.

[meredymage]

...Scribbles? Melnics isn't scribbles.

...Meredy is not sure she understands...but she thinks its a nice name!

[bingotothat]

Melnics? What is Melnics?

No worries! The movie I'm referring to is fairly cultish anyway and if you were raised around wizards I...wouldn't even expect you to know what a movie is. It's a good name for Robin in any case.
