Voice ; also this is apparently now taking place next week ICly XD

[youngestone]

Yeah, about that--who named you and why were they allowed to drink before naming you?

Voice ; Haha I saw~

[moreweaponsthanyou]

My Da did. He and Ma had an agreement, she gets to name all the girls and he all the boys. Except there were three girls ahead of me and when I came along one of my Uncles told me Da had a couple of 'celebratory' drinks before the nurse asked him what name he wanted on the birth certificate. Ma wasn't any help then which was a mistake because she has far better naming sense than Da; she was doped up on pain drugs.

Voice

[youngestone]

Right. Next question.

Where the hell did he get Filbert?

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I have no idea honestly. One of my grand-uncle had it for a name I think. It think Da was just drunk off his ass and wanted something 'special'.

Voice

[youngestone]

Like those people who name their kid some stupid spelling of "Catherine" or names like "Apple"?

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Just like that. The meaning isn't too bad, I looked it up after I started getting shit for it in school. It means 'bright one'.

Voice

[youngestone]

Hey, so does mine. Granted, I don't think Mom knew that when she named me but whatever.

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I don't think any parent really thinks about meanings behind names unless they've been planning it out for months ahead of time.

Voice

[youngestone]

Or they're just nuts. You've heard that story about the guy who named his kids Winner and Loser, right?

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Oh yeah. Wait to ruin your kids right after they're born.

Voice

[youngestone]

Seriously. "Nope, sorry, you're the youngest so you have to be a failure". Though I think it was the other way around in the end.

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

That doesn't make it any better!

Voice

[youngestone]

Of course not, but it's one of those ironic things. I still feel bad for them, though.

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I guess I should be happy my dad wasn't that drunk or stupid that night I was born.

Voice

[youngestone]

[Killian just laughs a bit]

Could always be worse?

[Trust him on this one]

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

With that lovely example you gave me just a minute ago? Yeah, it could be way way worse.

Voice

[youngestone]

Exactly!

[He pauses, checkign something]

You probably need to get back to work and I'm just babbling by now. Sorry?

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Nah, don't worry about it.

[There's some muffled voices coming from the background.]

You're right I do need to go back to work though. Call me if you need anything? And don't forget about the family dinner! I'll text you in a week or two with details.
