[ He nodded at the introduction, but "Just" was something that... rankled, in a way. Second names were for Pilties, not them. Hell, half the children in Zaun didn't remember their parents, let alone who they would have been before. There's no such thing as a second name to them -- even those that ascend upwards never adopt another name. It's what points them out as Zaunites, never to fit in.
