"It isn't that I dislike it..." Rupert trailed off uncomfortably, "...I just prefer my real name. 'Scales' is hardly a name to be addressed by clients... or by the Chief Prosecutor, or the Commander of the Spectrum... Not to mention, I feel as if I simply cast my name aside, I'll be losing a very important part of myself... a part that I do not want to lose. It is a troublesome thing. As for shortening my name, well... there's really no way to shorten 'Rupert' and make it sound good."
