[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

Uh, nice and accurate. Does it have any kind of meaning?

It means Lake in Latin. It was my mother ... that gave me my name.

I do not have many memories of her but I have my name ... to remember that she loved me.

I got my name from my dad. He named me after his older brother, 'cause his older brother named my cousin after him.

She must have loved you a lot, because it's pretty by itself and in its meaning.

I'd love to think so, but I really know nothing about her. I only had a handful of photographs ...

[ Her mother loved her, but never forgave her father for making their daughter a Coordinator. ]

Did you have a big family? [ A big family had always been what Lacus always wanted. ]

It depends on your standards, I guess.

[His voice gets a little quieter.]

Just me, my mother, my father, Uncle Rick, Aunt Karla, and my cousin, John. Dad and Uncle R. were always very close, and we were all one acrobatics troupe, so it was more like being one big family instead of two little ones.

[He shakes his head, ready to turn this back around to her.]

I think it's usually a safe assumption. Especially if she cared enough to pass you a name. Names have power.
