Especially not when she's looking oddly endearing in her confusion.

Is Rip seriously her name? He's heard worse self-chosen names, he supposes, by not by much. 'Condiment King' probably qualifies. In comparison, some sort of gender-bending, captured-by-fairies-or-whatever-the-fuck-happened-in-that-story children's story reference is... well, still pretty lousy, frankly, but not unforgivably so.

Is he going to holler "Rip van Winkle" every time he needs her to heel, or do other things? No. No, he is not.

He allows himself another look-over of her features. "I'm thinking 'Vanna.'"
