And oh yeah, a name for Taylor. We could remember why we gave the names to everyone else and try a connection, he thought. "I play drums, so I'm Snare... Am's Trashcan cause she beat the crap outta one... Eimear used to wear a trenchcoat so we made her Trench...." There was nothing that stood out about Tay to him yet.
"Fergus's Quicksand for the way he argues... Calli's Ash... Hazel is Candy Cloud, or Squirt to Am... Hm." WAIT. So if Taylor used to live in France and go to Sneezey School.... "How about 'L'hexagone'? That's the nickname for France!" Adam was proud to have thought of that. Quite.
Ameliah laughed a bit harder than she should have at Tay.
"The usual, you're family adopted me, we been through thick and thin together, the badgers thing...." That summed it up. Why was Tay afraid? Ameliah wasn't evil...
Well, THAT evil.
Ameliah listened as Adam debated the name.
"Yeah, L'hexagone is great!!" she agreed as he came to a conclusion. GOOD ON YOU, ADAM. Good on you.
