She wasn't kidding when she said she was grateful for your acceptance, and the fact that you want to keep learning only makes it better. In fact, now it feels like you've opened a new dimension in your relationship: You keep asking her about Tendrinites and their culture, and she's happy – no, eager – to answer. "And.now I think about it, that's where the ' you only live once, but I don't,' thing comes from, yeah?"Įven during your drive back to the beach, your conversation hasn't ended. "Not in those precise words, but correct." "Sort of the difference between.'hi, I'm Celeste,' and, 'hi, I'm Inheritor Celeste Luvendass?'" Consider the difference between introducing yourself with only your given name and introducing yourself with your full name and title." When I want to exert the social influence that comes with that status, I introduce myself as an inheritor. "Does that ever get confusing? With Tendrinites who have the same name?" The more honored the predecessor, the more it takes to earn that right, and in my case, I had to first earn entrance into the Luvendass clan, and then I had to prove my worthiness to inherit the last Celeste Luvendass's legacy." As I said, we're given names at birth, but we can take on the name of a predecessor by earning it. ".So, you only changed your name to Celeste Luvendass when you were 27?"
