"So's Elbert," Niki pointed out, incase she thought she was going to get away with using 'old fashioned' for an arguement! Ooh, he was on to her! "They probably. Meant to give the boy name to the boy her. Does he have a girl name?" That would make sense! In a way that made no sense at all.
"Or. A lamb. Or a goat." It definitely seemed like a farm name to Niki. Not that he knew much about farms, except from books. He had been raised in the posh Pureblood manner (you wouldn't guess it from how he was now). Definitely no farming involved!
He popped another one into his mouth, which puckered right up. Cherry Tart! And ooh it was tart! He flickered his tongue in and out like a snake to chase the flavour away. "I've been. Okay." He didn't really seem to mind his oddness. "How are you?" He sounded very nearly polite!
