holy crap.. I'm going shopping with wanderer. This is a dream come true and a half!!!

Internally, you were freaking out. Externally, you were browsing some clothes at some random street vendor place while wanderer just sort of stood there. You glanced at him, wondering how you could start a conversation.

"Um.." you were so tongue tied, it was ridiculous. You then remembered a certain conversation topic that most people would've brought up by now.

"Sooo, why don't you, like, have a name?"

Oh jeez that sounded more passive aggressive than you intended it too.

Wanderer didn't answer you, and honestly you didn't blame him. You seemed pretty lame, especially right now.

"...wanderer?"

He sighed, and looked behind him at the street. "My job is to buy you the necessities, not make useless small talk."

You sweat-dropped, wondering how you were going to get him to start talking. You were determined to be his friend, but unfortunately for you wanderer was quite standoffish and you didn't deal that well with people like that.

"But this isn't small talk! This is.. like, big talk! Humongous talk! Aren't names important?"

Wanderer chuckled and looked over at you.

"Yes, they are important. Unfortunately for me, the person who was supposed to name me couldn't find anything acceptable"

You blinked, and your mind flashed through what that could mean.
Oh dear, did lumine try to name him something like baby girl or —I don't know, buttplug?

"Oh. So you just don't have a name?"

"Not until someone can come up with something I like. Other than 'hat guy'." He said, crossing his arms

"Wait, so anyone could name you? If they came up with something you liked?" You asked, wondering if you would be able to name him.

"Hm, yeah, I guess so." He said, crossing his arms.

"... so could I name you??" You didn't actually know what you would name him, but if he wanted you to you could definitely cook up something.

Wanderer scoffed. "I doubt that the likes of you could come up with a satisfactory name for me. don't get any ideas." He chuckled condescendingly. "..however, do tell if you get any ideas."
He eyed the bundle of clothes you had in your arm. "Are you almost done yet?"

You blinked at the sudden change in topic, and glanced down at your collection of clothes.

You counted all the clothes you had, and made sure you had enough
