Námo sits in a chair near the fire, staring into it, brooding.

He's gotten good at the brooding.

Why yes, it is an imaginative entrance post.

"Oh," he says quietly, sobering.

He remembers, suddenly, speaking with Gorlim several months ago.

"I would sooner call you gwador."
"That better not mean something like 'idiot,' Gorlim."
"...It means 'brother.'"

He looks up. "'Cher,' in French."

He sees the change in Lee's demeanour when the definition of the word is given. "Would you not like for me to call you melda? I did not mean to assume..."

But he pauses, looking toward the fire, mulling over the sound of 'cher'.

"A lovely word, though I will not try to repeat it. I know I pronounce your name incorrectly, and I hope you do not mind."

"No--no, I--" His laugh is nervous. "I didn't mean to sound like I didn't want you to. Not at all." He looks up, eyes sincere.

"I love the way you pronounce my name, actually," he confesses. "Your accent...it's beautiful."

He hopes the shadows of the firelight hide the light flush of his cheeks.

"I am glad you do," he says quietly, continuing to stare at the hearth.

Lee focuses his attention on the upholstery of the armrest.

"Yeah, well..."

[namo]

"Thank you," he says as he reaches out a hand to run his fingers through the man's hair.

"It's true." He turns so that his lips brush lightly against Namo's hand and leans into the touch, closing his eyes.

"That feels nice."

[namo]

He continues to stroke through Lee's hair, staring down at him with a soft smile. "This is pleasant. Very enjoyable. I am glad you found me this evening."
