Whatever makes you comfortable, you can call me that. My friends all call me something different. Most of them call me Souji, the girls I know usually call me Souji-kun... Then my best friend just teases me and calls me 'boy' most of the time.
[Talking about Ian and his friends is enough to make him smile a little more.]
You should tell me about your friends or your family. We're really far away from where we started, but maybe someone you know is here. ... I don't really know anyone outside of my friends, but a lot of them are here.
