Pagan, please. [He sits down in the chair, all lazy arrogance, picking up his own glass by the rim, tapping it with his fingertips.]

And it is not his surname, if that's what you mean. It's a name reserved for family and close friends. I'm not surprised he hasn't corrected you, though.

He is accommodating to social slights from most.

Well, no matter. I find it more interesting that he's asked us to meet. He said he taught you mahjong?
