Emberwood you're a dime, plus ninety-nine

Easy smiled at the offer, but gave a faint shake of her head. "I want to call you by the name you've chosen," she assured. "It won't be too difficult to switch over." She had no practice at calling her Akuti, after all.

But princess was such a sweet name meaning; she liked it immediately. "What does Bhediya mean? And Khoe?" she asked curiously, eager for a language lesson. She wanted to learn as much as she could while she was in the woman's presence.

Her next statement, however, had Easy snickering. "You don't have to exaggerate," she told the woman, plainly quite tickled. "Do you know, I've had to learn to say my name is Easy instead of I'm easy every time I introduce myself. It didn't matter when I was tiny, but now that I'm a woman, it gives the wrong impression," she said with a wicked grin. "I'll never forgive him for that. I even went by Blackbear, and Ishara for a time, but after he died... it just felt like a good way to come home. Taking it up again."

She offered a more hesitant smile and added, "He used call you Cutie. I don't think the man knew how names worked, if they weren't words he already knew."
