[There's a light snort of amusement from Hakkyuu that rolls easily into a brief chuckle.]
Well shit, at least you're self-aware on that level! But, look, you shortened Kimberley, could've shortened Aloysius. Dunno if 'Al' has the same ring as 'Kim' but it's an option!
[He hums thoughtfully, picking up on an earlier point.]
You got heavily locked into a lotta family stuff, huh?
[As fpr the second part, he's quiet for a moment, and then he answers.]
With a family like mine, one often is. There are expectations. [Kim laughs, short and slightly humourless.] At least I'm not the heir and am therefore not needed to carry on the family line.
Do you need to sound dignified? Or you think the whole poise and cadence doesn't do the job for you? But you're talking to the guy whose name sounds like a cough and a sneeze, so what do I know.
The heir got a better taste for the family bloodline stuff than you then? Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
The heir, at least, is not a queer man. Though I wouldn't say that he's been particularly successful in finding someone to continue the bloodline with him. Two women have broken off engagements with him so far.
[If Kim sounds vindictively pleased, it's because, well, he hates Chingford. But he has no doubt that eventually, somehow, his brother will sire an heir.]
