“Let me explain.” Chris chuckled. “My real name is Crius. I realized it sounded too feminine when I joined my unit, so I changed it to Chris!”

“That’s right. He’s the only one in the family who dared to change his name,” Zuko said, chuckling. “Our great-grandfather named us, and Chris just went ahead and changed it!”

Chris shrugged. “A name is just an insignia. As long as people remember it, it should be fine. Am I right, Ms. Harding?”

Meanwhile, Lena’s mind seemed to be elsewhere. After a moment, she glanced at him blankly and asked, “Did you call me?”

Chris faked a chuckle. “Who else would it be? You’re the only one with the last name Harding here.”

“Oh,” she replied flatly. “I’m not used to people calling me that.”

“Well…”

“Didn’t you say that a name is just an insignia?” Lena’s expression remained unchanged. “Lena is my insignia.”
