“Jean-paul. Ça va?”
Jean-paul. Seriously?
Fair enough, I guess.
Maybe Nikos didn’t care and let Alec’s mother name her child, and she had French ancestry?
Then again, Newbie is not just calling Alec by a French name, she’s also talking to him in French. Maybe that’s just a humorous greeting, a poke at his name, but it might mean they’ve been raised with some French. That could still be from the harem, I suppose, but it’s also possible that I’ve misjudged where the name Nikos Vasil would come from (Greece).
“It’s Alec now. Regent in costume.”
Alec what, though? Jean-paul Vasil before, Alec ??? now.
I mean, I called that he’d changed his civilian name a long time ago, but I’ve never learned what his surname is these days, whether it’s still Vasil (doubtful) or not.
