[He sighed, ignoring the fit of amusement from the demon in his head as he answered sullenly.]

...a fox.

[The animal he was named after.]

[loves_hypoing_jim]

Oh yeah? Why's that?

[companionsgrasp]

Well, if I had to chose... I might as well go for my namesake.

[loves_hypoing_jim]

First name or surname?

[companionsgrasp]

[He pressed his lips together to keep from making a face--essentially failing miserably in the process.]

Surname. The orphanage gave it to me. There was a group of us named after animals.

[loves_hypoing_jim]

That's a smart way of going about it, in a small depressing kinda way.

[Guessing that the orphanage only did that for those that aged out.]

[companionsgrasp]

Yeah, it...worked for their purposes. [He muttered the next part under his breath.] They were more like codenames than surnames actually.

[loves_hypoing_jim]

[Purposely ignores what he obviously wasn't meant to hear.]

But it gave all of you rather unique surnames, nothing as common as McCoy.

[companionsgrasp]

Isn't the point to know what family you come from? It's supposed to mean something.

[loves_hypoing_jim]

Money. In Atlanta mine means wealth and status to a lot of crappy people.

[companionsgrasp]

I figure the family part is the important factor.

[Someone has orphan issues. He wishes he knew his parents. Too bad they're dead because of their own actions him.]

[loves_hypoing_jim]

Close family, sure but extended family, not so much in my opinion.

[companionsgrasp]

...I'd be happy with any. [He sighed.] So do you like any of your family then?

[loves_hypoing_jim]

My parents, my siblings and my daughter.

[companionsgrasp]

You have a kid? [He started and then stopped short, realizing he didn't know what he wanted to say. Then,] Well, that's nice.

You didn't mention her mother.

[loves_hypoing_jim]

Sure do.

[He took a breath before answering.] We're divorced and for a good reason.

[companionsgrasp]

Oh. I hear you. Glad to know she's not dead anyway. [That sounded surprisingly genuine. Worst case scenarios tended to be his line of work.]

[loves_hypoing_jim]

Nope, just married to her high school sweetheart that she cheated on me with.
