( ... that's oddly endearing. not something he thought he'd think of ophidian. ) if yer gonna be possessive of the title, then fine. ya can keep the number one spot of likin' me.

( raising a brow along with a small smile. ) yeah? i never thought ya would be the type ta be generous. i must be reeeeal special.

... fair 'nough. ( clyde is shorter than ophidian. by three letters. guy has come to the quick conclusion that there's no use in making sense of what clyde says. ) must be why my name only has three letters.

uh huh. most of ya are as far as i know. ophidian was too long? i mean, that's the name of the dude ya came from an' not— what was yer former name?

great, i got two of ya sayin' the same thing ...

when nobody got me, i know the entities got me.

i’m sure you would.
