Oh, and um, Pyre? Jasper and Sapttus were debating Van's gender status privately. Was it the stutter that he's responding to? *shrugs* I guess that could be taken that way, but I meant to show that Jasper was being extra careful how he pronounced the last name.
It's likely the stutter. Although, Van's also incredibly used to confusion, so he'll typically correct people from the start. Unless, of course, he has no reason to say anything, but that kind of situation is probably not going to come up.
I'm sorry about being REALLY SLOW to post, but I just got a job, and I am working 8 hours a day doing exhausting crap in an office! Last week was my first week at work, so... yeah. I've been kinda hard to find on the internet anyways, because I've been all AFK.
