[Oh thank god, there was no awkwardness or questions or anything else. Lust lets out a visible (and audible) sigh of relief.]
And it's nice to meet you. I'm sorry if I seem needlessly defensive, but...I've gotten used to varied reactions to my name. Including the outright refusal to use it, and...assumptions about my profession. Which is a perfectly fine profession, just not currently mine. Goodness sakes, I knew it as the word that meant 'me' before I knew it as anything else.
Though now I have to wonder what the strangest name you've heard is.
[Because, really. What's stranger than being named for a sin from a dead religion?]
