[ it's not io's name but it does make their brow twinge a bit, their jaw set a little. ]

Name's a powerful thing. Careful...

[ a little smile manages its way here, however. ]

He is the type to truly leave a mark on one's life. People like that are rare. I can tell you cherish him.

[ so that makes him happy. ]
