Summary
Looking up at the old man, Mud asked, “Are you the Bookman?”
“Did this scoundrel tell you about me?” the old man – the Bookman – asked in response, one eyebrow rising in interest.
“Only that you’d be coming. No one else has come by all day, so I figured it was you,” Mud responded. “I’m Mud. Is Bookman your real name?”
“Is Mud yours?”
“It’s what people call me,” Mud said, with a twinge of discomfort. The kids who had names had never considered that a good answer, but all the nameless kids had to call each other something. He waited for Bookman to correct him, but instead the old man smiled.
“That’s a wise way to look at it,” Bookman said. “But from now on, you shall be called Junior.”

The next morning, Bookman left, and he took Junior with him.
[How Bookman trained Junior: a story entirely about Lavi that doesn't use that particular name even once. ;P Part II of The Third Side, though it is a prequel fic, so you do *not* need to have read Arc I first to understand the Lavi backstory. Please see the notes at the beginning of the story.]Series
