Are you mad at me?

About what?

The name thing.

Why would you think I that?

Because you were acting kind of strange? I don't know. I just don't want you to be mad at me.

I wasn't hiding it from you. I just don't usually think about it.

It was just a surprise is all. And I guess Wichita just added to it, that's all.

Look, I don't expect you to share everything with me. I'm not mad, I swear.

Okay. Just making sure.

I don't want you to be upset, and I don't really do this much. I'm not sure what the rules are supposed to be.

Rules to what, John?

Nothing has changed, you don't have to worry.

Being in a relationship.

You know you're the most important person on this ship to me, right?

Oh. Yeah, of course I know.

I don't want you to worry about things though, okay?

I'm fine.

Okay.

You can rifle through my wallet tonight if you want.

Well that is very nice of you John.

But I think I'll be fine.

I'll just give you a hard time about all those nicknames you seem to acquire.

You know one of the reasons why I like you so much is you're one of the only people in this place who uses my preferred name.

Well it is - WAS - your name. I can't see any reason not to use it.

[ SERIOUSLY, she DOES NOT want to call you robin ]

It's always been my name, and it still is. You don't have to talk about it like it's suddenly changed.

Like I said, I haven't gone by Robin since I was a kid, and I'm not about to change that.

Well I'm not about to change what I call you. I just don't want you to think that I don't acknowledge it. That's all.

You don't have to acknowledge it. I usually don't.

Seriously, I was twelve when I started calling myself John. I don't hate my first name or anything, but I don't see any reason to switch back to it.

I don't either. But it's still the name your parents gave you.

Trust me. I'm not about to call you anything other than John. I like John.

I don't think my parents would care much, frankly.

John is also the name they gave me, just not my first name.

[ ugh, john, she doesn't want to sit and get into this with you. ]

They still liked it enough to name you that.

Look, it doesn't matter what you go by. You're still going to be the same person you were to me before I knew.

And I haven't changed it.

I just want to be John. Especially with you.

Well you're always going to be John to me. I'm too stubborn to change things now.

Good. I don't want anything to change.

Well if something changes, you'll be the first to know.

And I'll do the same for you.
