Rip wanted to say something about letting her arm go but, his reaction to her name kind of...threw her off a little. She pauses and blinks as her annoyance and caution are quickly replaced by a cute, confused look when it comes to his reaction. Usually when people hear her name, the first thing they think about is her literary counterpart and tease her about a long nap.

Not...mistake it for a fake name and then talk about stripper names. She tries to shrug off his hand as that cute look of confusion just gets more..confused. "I vasn't giving a fake name."

She starts pouting a little. "Zhat IS my name. Vhy vould I vant to be a 'Cherri' or a 'Brandy' vhen my name is perfectly acceptable?"
