"Aaaaaaalyyyyyss~!!!" An obnoxious boy runs at me screaming my name wildly. Embarrassed I pretend nor to hear him and continue to stroll through the town.

"Aaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyysss~!!!!!" That obnoxious asshole keeps running. That asshole is Lavi bookman, my friend and self proclaimed knight since his "childhood". In truth bookmen age slowly so he was a teen back then too. I don't age for whatever reason so that's that. I wonder if it's because I'm a Noah? Who knows...

I don't want people to think we're close but I HATE that he's causing a scene. I sigh, stop and turn around reluctantly. "Alyss my beloved maiden!" With my senses I feel him trip on a convenient banana peal and trip arms outstretched. He falls grabbing my boobs like this is some god damn cheap shoujo anime.

I immediately go red in the face and beat him up with Weiss screaming angrily and calling him a pervert. I force him to kneel as I yell. We've been here for a few weeks so the locals are more or less used to it.

"AND HOW IS THIS ONE GONNA GET MARRIED EVER IF YOU KEEP FOLLOWING ME AROUND LIKE A PUPPY AND GROPING ME LIKE A WOLF!? NO WOMAN WILL WANT TO BE NEAR A MAN LIKE YOU, AND NO MAN WILL WANT TO BE WITH THIS ONE IF SOMEONE LIKE YOU FREQUENTS THIS ONE'S PRESENCE!"

"Mah mah, don't worry my princess! I will marry you if no one else will!" He said it with a pure, honest, cheeky, perverted smile. I wanted to beat him so badly! This shameless fool! I grit my teeth. "THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" I calm down and ask "so what is it you needed?" Lavi's smile dropped. "The old man wants you back at the inn... there's something we need to discuss." I sigh. I know what this is about. "Its time isn't it?" I say with a solemn look. He takes my hand and nods with a sad smile. We walk back to the inn in silence. Hand in hand. Gripping each other for dear life. We had only been together for about 4 years yet we became so close. Now it was time for them to move on and document more. And I.... I needed to go on a journey of my own as well.

It's such a shame... but I'm prepared for this! "I have parting gifts and a promise." I said to Bookman once we got back to our room. The two looked at me withmasked shock and a smile. "For lavi I got you this scarf... I made it myself and even put a small protection spell on it. I'm still no good at using my powers so I did what I could. I also stole your eyepatch while you were asleep and put a universal translation spell on it so you'll be able to understand languages you've never heard or may have forgotten. It's mostly for elder so you don't cause him trouble with language barriers and such. It'll also give you a basic understanding of etiquette when you go to somewhere foreign so you also won't trouble elder."

(le scarf)

They thanked me before I could stop them. So I just sighed and continued. "The thing I got for elder is similar... I made a ring of protection for you as well but it's also weak so it won't be too much help. The other thing is a name... it's weird that you don't have a name and only call yourself bookman. That's your clan name! At least accept a proper alias like lavi... except this one will be permenant. I've thought long and hard about this name so please accept it!" I blush in embarrassment and thrust a folded paper into his hand.

He didn't bother to argue about the name as it's something we've argued over since day 3 of our time together, even lavi said it would be cool. So eventually It was decided that at the end of our time together, if I still insisted on naming him I could. I never gave up and came up with this one!

He opens the paper and looks. It reads:

sapientem commentariis

He stares silently for a while. Breaking the silence i nervously ask "Do you like it? I figured that since the book an clan is an old clan and Latin is the oldest language I know that a Latin name would be best. So I chose "Sapientem" meaning "wise man" and commentarriis meaning "Recorder, archivist or record keeper." I know it's not really original or anything but I thought it would suit you best. It's not exactly inconspicuous as an alias like lavi and it's weird calling you bookman all the time. So I figured since it was fairly easy to say and it fits you nicer than going by the clan name does... but you don't have to use it if you don't want to! If you don't like it it's totally fine I was being a bit pushy about it so..."

Oh god. I was rambling like an idiot and waving my hands like a psycho! Not to mention I'm pretty sure my face matched lavi's new scarf with how flustered I was! Elder chuckled causing me to stop flailing and lavi to stop snorting the scarf like a creep... is it too late to take back the scarf and burn it??? But more importantly, ELDERS LAUGHING!!!

He stops and begins speaking "this is truly a surprising gift. A welcome one though indeed. For the longest time I've had no name. I had one once when I was young, but I've forgotten it entirely. To know that the new Eve has named me is a honor and a blessing. To have put such thought into it as well, this old man is lucky to have met you! I will accept this name with grace."

I huff. "Good! I'd clock ya if you didn't." I smile fondly. "You'd probably clock my right back out of reflex though!" We all spend the rest of the day together. The next morning I leave before they wake up. I left a little drawing of us together. On the back is a message of my promise "we'll meet again someday. And on that day, you bet your ass I'll have become a amazing Eve! ;p"
