[It seems someone has decided to change his voicemail following graduation. Hes trying so hard to sound professional, business like, but Hanna's usual enthusiasm bleeds through easily.]

You have reached the mailbox of Hanna Cross. If you don't have an appointment, my secretary will follow up with a return message shortly. [a short pause.] meaning me. I'll get back to you, don't worry.

And if this is an emergency what are you doing on the phone? Cardio is your friend. byyyye!

Thank you.

[At Hanna's invitation, Thrawn walks over to seat himself on the second stool. He looks around the whole of the apartment, silent and observing. Thrawn tends to get wrapped up in his head upon entering a new place, so he doesn't answer to say yes or no to soda.

The answer is likely going to be no, regardless]

[he blinks, turning back to Hanna, eyes refocusing on him]

I was not expecting anything.

This is your apartment back in your world.

Indeed.

No. There is no Earth in my galaxy that I'm aware of. I understand most humans here are from that planet.

As it happens, that tends to be the case with most people.

[Thrawn falls silent, musing]

...Forgive me. Sometimes the simplest questions are the most difficult to answer.

[Thrawn considers this. Florian did say he wanted him to reach out to others who didn't have what he wanted. Did Hanna count? Difficult to say; Thrawn wants him to not turn the ship upside down ever again. Would that be a practical desire?]

You asked me about my military career. I have had two. And you asked about where I was from; I spent the first half of my life in one sector of my galaxy and the other half in another, albeit with interstellar travel, 'in one sector' can mean a vast territory with hundreds of worlds.

I still hold many secrets about both that only Florian knows, due to him having my file. I will try to answer your questions and establish common ground, because he seems to believe friendship is key to my graduation.

All I ask is that you respect when I say no. Understand that I do it in order to protect others.

[blink. blink]

I do not mind speaking about myself. The difficulty comes in when you ask questions such as where I came from. I could point my home planet out on a starmap, and thus reveal secrets of my people we have kept for thousands of years. Hardly ideal conversation.

If you do not wish to be asked questions in turn, I will respect your choices.

[He gives the matter its due consideration, then nods and extends his own hand, shaking Hanna's with finality]

Offer accepted, Hanna Falk Cross.

I understand completely, Hanna. When one is meeting for the first time - or when we seek to establish a new agreement - we typically will say one's full name first, and the given name after.

[does no one understand DRAAAAMA on this ship?]

'Thrawn' is a nickname. A Core name.

My full name is Mitth'raw'nuruodo.

But I have been given many nicknames in my lifetime.

You will not succeed. Human tongues are not particularly adept at my species' naming conventions without a good deal of studying.

I suggest you call me Thrawn.

[VERY MUCH SUGGEST IT]
artistinexile: (ughhhhhh)

[personal profile] artistinexile 2024-09-12 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

You should know that even my own species only uses our full names in certain ceremonies and upon meeting one another for the first time.

Incidentally, I understand 'Mr.' to be a civilian title. As you accurately guessed, I have been in the navy for the last thirty-five years.

Do you wish for me to address you with a nickname?

[personal profile] artistinexile 2024-09-12 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
If we were going by my species' names, your 'Core' name to me would be something similar to 'Shannafa'.

Not necessarily - some rise to the level of their ability and no more, while others are hamstrung by political maneuverings. Unfortunate cases.

Before I died, I was fortunate enough to be made a Grand Admiral. I do not know how that translates to Earth navies. Here it means I was in command of my own flagship - the ISD Chimaera - plus nine others of equal size and a host of smaller craft. To give you a sense of scale, the Chimaera alone was capable of hosting 50,000 officers, crew and stormtroopers - ground troops, should a land invasion be deemed necessary.
