He stops "Maybe, maybe you ccould. It's... more your mortal side than fae in some ways. Remember, mortals most often do the Dreaming."

"Oh..."

"Well, Sam liked superheroes, too."

"Who is Sam?" Klump asks

"Sam is... the human part, right? Dagmar the troll lives in Sam the Human."

"And both are one in the same" Jaymes says, "A blend."

"Oh, so you are Sam. that is a good name too" Klump says

"It's short for Samantha." Nose wrinkle.

"Oh, that is much longer to say" Klump says "But sometimes taking your time to knnow a name is not all together bad. You can learn more than you knew was there"

"I noticed that" Jaymes says

"Sam is a better name. But not as good as Dagmar."

"I will call you what you like, little pebble," Klump says then stops "Oh dear. I just called you little pebble after saying I would call you what you like"

A rumbly chuckle. "Dunno. Pebble is okay."

Jaymes smiles "A TOUGH pebble."

"Oh yes," Klump says, "Some pebbles are made of very strong stone indeed"

A brief grin and she shrugs.
