Tide enjoyed the bright smile on Senecio's face, snuggling at his side and caressing his hair contentedly, as if not able to help himself but put his endearment into acts, after what the actor said. Not even when he was being reprimanded, did the content smile leave his face, he only looked more thoughtful, but engaged, as if trying to find a solution.

" You are right... it is hard to breach formality. From the start, I somehow felt that Beast King grew up all on his own, and does not feel like someone that would have a name originally, or be given a name at the latter point, " he revealed timidly. " In Being culture, giving names or nicknames to others is a show of care, closeness and endearment... But if Beast King is not close to anyone, and all his subjects see him as someone they serve in exchange for his protection - would there be space for enough freedom for them to name him, even if they care for him? They would feel it is only proper to express their gratefulness by acknowledging their loyalty to him and calling him King. Few called Grendel Grendel in the old times, too, for this reason - among all, he was mostly addressed as Demon King. It is a sign of respect to superior, to address someone with an acknowledgement of subservience to then... But not a sign of closeness. I do not feel myself I am a Demon King that is on such an awe-inspiring level as Grendel was to be called by my title... I am mostly a glorified soul caretaker that checks on his people often and makes sure they are comfortable in hiding. So, it is no wonder my people felt close enough to me to name me freely. Without them, time would surely have given me another, but I would not be named Tide. But if Beast King had a turbulent life more similar to Grendel's, he would surely not have anyone close enough to name him... It does not feel proper, with such misfortunate life, for him to have a name... "
