Back on track

Either way, for Leom to do all this just for a year of peace and quiet, seems like he really wanted a break from your deadbeat self."

"Deadbeat? If anything I was the glue holding that house together. He's a clean freak you know? Had I not been there to dirty it, he would have been cleaning an already disgustingly clean house."

"It seems for the time being you're as good as stuck here though."

"No need to remind me." she groaned. Resting her chin in her hand she began pacing the small room, "Fine, until I find a way back home, I expect the finest room, I deserve to be accommodated like the goddess I am. You're a duke arent you? I'm sure you'll deliver."

"Oh, a room? Yeah sure, Miss uh..."

"I am Ghodea. Third child of Chreas."

"And I'm John Doe, nice to meet you."

Ghodea ? That's a great name and all but you don't really want to let everyone know you're harboring a girl who has the name of a goddess, and worse yet, who will most definitely claim to be said goddess. Best case scenario, they think she's crazy and people look at you with a little more disdain than usual. Worst-case scenario, the church somehow gets involved, imprison you and Ghodea for blasphemy and people look at you with a little more disdain than usual. And since neither of these options seems like they're ideal for you, you decide that you should probably give Ghodea a name that's a bit less conspicuous. You explain your reasoning to Ghodea.

"I don't really see how that's any problem, after all, one look into my eyes and I could easily break out," she says matter of factly. "but you may be right humans tend to be overly sensitive about this stuff...very well then, what do you suggest?"

"How about...Dea?"

She ponders the name for a bit before shrugging. "A bit bland for my taste, but I expect nothing else from a human such as yourself. So if I must, I guess it is serviceable. Now bring me to my room, feel lucky that I am asking and not ordering you."
