"Monsieur Germain." Today's the day I'm leaving to continue my travels around France. Even though Vincent angered me several times, I need to stay polite in front of Saint Germain. "Thank you again."

"It was no problem." Saint Germain faintly smiled, and decided to ask. "Have you decided a name for your Saimiri?"

"Oh actually the name just came to me this morning!"

"Oh what is it?" Vincent crossed his arms. His brown eyes narrowing at me. "You didn't name your precious partner after Lucia did you?"

He was practically glaring at me. "That would be insulting to Lucia."

"You really don't know when to quit adding logs to the fire don't you?"

"Ahem." Saint Germain coughed loudly, snapping us out of our retort fight. "You were saying, Maxi?"

"Oh right right...well I've decided to name my partner, Maxine." I then explain her new name. "Even if she's a female monkey, doesn't mean she can't have a part of my name."

"I see...Maxine. A wonderful name for a Saimiri like her." Saint Germain then reached forward to press a gloved hand atop my head.

"I hope we meet again someday, Maxi."

I grinned. "I hope so, Monsieur Germain."
