[Because his name is literally Rich Dick and he hates it.]
That's what I go by, and not just to you. There are two other Richard Gansey's aside from myself, and they wear the name quite well enough on their own, I think.
He's been alright, yeah. He's probably not sleeping enough thanks to the baby, but I'm trying to kick his arse and make him nap occasionally when I can.
['Machete'? Oh, Christ on the cross. That's exactly what Ronan would name a human child. But how-- He didn't actually-- Did he? Gansey didn't think he'd been here long enough-- But also--
[???]
I don't see how that's possible.
He didn't have a child back home.
[And yet has somehow managed to acquire one since coming here?]

I do try my best to discourage that sort of behavior. [But...what can you really do?]
Just "Gansey", if you'd please. :) It is nice to meet you regardless of the mix-up.
I should thank you for being companion to him in my absence. Ronan is a wonderful man.
no subject
Yeah, you too.
Why just the surname..?
He's a good guy, kinda funny when he's not being a cheeky prick.

Is Theo short for something?
no subject
I'd probably do the same if there were two other fucks running around with my name.
Theodora.
Theo is indefinitely preferable.
no subject
Theo it is.
Allow me to ask you something. How has he been? Aside from barely missing unsuspecting women with his car.
no subject
He's really good with her, it's kind of cute.
no subject
[A...baby, she says? Surely she can't mean...
[Uhhhhhhhh.]
Oh, I didn't realize you had a daughter.
[Surely she must be talking about her baby. Maybe she and Ronan spend more time together than he thought?]
no subject
Oh, fuck no, she's not mine
I mean she's great I'd take a bullet for her, but
I meant Ronan's kid.
no subject
I'm sorry. I'm a bit confused. Ronan doesn't have a daughter.
no subject
Well........he does now?
She's a cute kid, you should meet her.
「 A pause; 」
Name's Machete

I don't see how that's possible.

[And yet has somehow managed to acquire one since coming here?]
Did he take her in?
[Why...?]
no subject
He hasn't told me where she's come from or who the mum is, he just insists he's responsible for her.
no subject
I'll have to speak with him about this.
[And meet his...daughter? Lord, he has a headache all of a sudden.]
How old is she?
