At the introduction, Jin inclined his head politely. “Cassius,” he repeated, tasting the foreign syllables on his tongue. Lestrange, he categorized quietly. “Like the man from your Shakespeare, Julius Caesar?” He couldn’t help but grin.
Jin had recently found an old, dusty tomb of the scholar’s works in their zoo of a house and set himself to reading it. He’d thought at first it might improve and help him practice his English but in fact, it felt like a whole different language or dialect altogether. He was determined to struggle through it, but he had a lot of questions. And notes in the margins.
In Joseon it was rather impertinent to call any new acquaintance by a first name, given how titles and status meant so much, so Jin didn’t dare call the man Cash. But he felt a little thrill at Cassius. It was a nice name, anyway. He inclined his head towards the broom.
“Would you mind showing me now then, Cassius?” He asked. This man was too stiff to catch the drift Jin had hoped, but he wouldn’t turn down the lesson now that the idea was in his head.
