[ There's a sharp intake of breath that he tries to quickly muffle by covering the mic on his phone. He feels warm, but at the same time, his heart aches. It's been so long since someone called him Jinbug. He misses his mom.
Normally, he would be mortified if anyone other than his mother called him Jinbug, but...it's so nice to hear the nickname again that he can't even find it in him to be embarrassed.
He clears his throat, his voice thick. He tries to play it off. ]
Yeah. Yeah, it's only fair. Gotta say, you've got a way with nicknames. Jinbug really is, uh, the cutest.
[ HMMM. He really should think of one for her now. Otherwise Chicken lady is going to stick, and...that won't do, right? Let's see...Rapunzel...There are a few obvious options, but he doesn't really want to go that route. He'd like to come up with something a little more special, since she inadvertently gave him the gift of his childhood nickname.
Rapunzel's a fairy tale, right? The name was based on the Rampion plant, also known as the bellflower. ]
