They represent death and ill luck.

[It's bad taste to rag on someone's name and there was probably some reason for it. Maybe it was a family name. Maybe the honor of naming him went to an extremely elderly relative. Like extremely elderly. Maybe it was an accident. He can't believe he's just been casually calling his friend weasel this whole time.]

Ah. Well. Perhaps your parents had a different sort of encounter with a weasel. And anyway, you haven't brought me any ill luck.

[blackfire]

（ he can hear those gears turning from here, and so — ）

There is a clan of ninja weasels.

My grandmother had a contract with one of them, credited on numerous occasions with saving her life.

Cultural connotations aside, weasels have long been friends and allies to my family.

[Oh thank GOD Itachi, he was grasping at straws over here.]

A weasel who defied expectations and rose above the assumptions made about it! I understand. Noble character matters far more than presumptions.

[blackfire]

（ death and ill luck suit him far better, but — ）

You were that concerned for me, I see.

（ you weirdo. ）

[singlelogbridge]

[Don't make fun of him, he was struggling!]

Not concerned! Who am I to question the name your parents gave you? But I may have been ready to start brainstorming a courtesy name for you. Maybe.

[blackfire]

A name is just a name.

（ a body is just a body. both are simply tools. ）

But I appreciate your （ his...? ）you-ness.

（ nailed it...? ）

[singlelogbridge]

My me-ness! I'm glad.

Hey did I ever tell you what I named my sword?

[blackfire]

No.

（ it's going to be something ridiculous, he already knows. ）

[singlelogbridge]

Whatever

[blackfire]

（ why are you literally the worst. ）

Nothing in what you have just said surprises me.

[singlelogbridge]

[Please know he is cackling out loud.]

Then I am clearly doing my job! I'm glad you understand me.

[blackfire]

At times it is against my better judgement.

[singlelogbridge]

[Alright look, he doesn't get emojis and he doesn't use them. They're weird and he doesn't quite understand them, but in lieu of a face to face conversation, there is only one proper way to respond to this.]

😉

[blackfire]

（ not even dignifying that with a response. bye. ）
