A woman named James isn't really going to be inconspicuous.

"What do you mean? And did you have to make it sound so ominous?" James asked, turning back to face his sister.

"Not really, but it sounded cool," Lily grinned, quickly growing serious again. "But really, we need to do something about your... about your name."

"Why? What's wrong with James?" The dog morph felt apprehensive. Rationally, James knew that with a body like his, he couldn't go around in public introducing himself as James, but he still hated the thought of giving it up.

"Nothing! Nothing, but we at least need some name to call you in public."

"Oh!" That was different, of course. He could stay James, and just have his sister call him something else when other people where listening. "Okay... Do you have an idea?"

"Glad you're asking!" Lily was already back to her usual, bubbly self. "What do you think of... Faye? It's cute, and it almost sounds like your old nick name!"

James winced. It just sounded so damn girly! Did he really have to... The dog morph found himself staring at himself in the mirror. Or was it _her_self? After all, an enormously muscular version of his mother stared back at him, and with her outfit, there was nothing masculine about James reflection. But no, James was a guy! No matter how much he looked like a woman. He knew that, his sister knew that, and if the world saw him as a girl, then so be it. James would get through being called Faye in public. No big deal.

"I... alright," James finally said, feeling his ears droop under his beret. "Just... promise me you'll only call me that if there's other people around, okay?"

"Of course, Jay!" Lily smiled broadly, getting on her tiptoes to give her brother a quick kiss. "Now let's go, I'm so hungry!"

Taking James hand, the blonde pulled him out of her room, down the stairs and finally out into the street. There, she became much less forceful, the urgent walk turning into a relaxed stroll. But Lily's hand never left "Faye's". James turned a little red, not used to even this tame kind of PDA, and yet, he never once thought of letting go.
