[It all makes enough sense, Eren supposes - more a title than a name, but while Hythlodaeus politely withholds his curiosity, Eren feels no such reservation.]
You must have your own name, too, then. What is it?
I'd think you'd get tired of being known only by your title.
[He can't say he'd particularly like those who know him personally to refer to him as "The Founding Titan". He'd hate it, in fact. Granted, "Lahabrea" doesn't seem as disenchanted with his "profession" as Eren does; still.]
[Hythlodaeus seems mildly surprised to hear somebody just ask Lahabrea for his name like that.]
Ah... well, it is a show of respect to refer to the Convocation of Fourteen by their assigned titles. Though I would use Emet-Selch's given name, 'twas only ever in private...
[He is, admittedly, likewise somewhat surprised that someone might just come out and ask for his name. It's simply harder to tell, given his overall inclination to stoicness.]
Though as Hythlodaeus has said, such things would be considered for either more private moments or to be shared with those to whom one is particularly close. Even my closest colleagues would refer to me by naught more than my title.
[Which is saying something, given that one of those is his own cousin.]
Still, should you truly wish to know it, I am not entirely against sharing it. Though I would prefer to remain known by my title over my name save in situations such as Hythlodaeus has mentioned.
[Eren nods. It's all understandable enough, and Eren won't refer to Lahabrea as anything but "Lahabrea," if that's what he really wants; the question hasn't been rejected, though, and he's still curious.
[Aside from that, the respect he shows Lahabrea is merely borne from caring about Hythlodaeus. The man's position within his own reality's constructs means little to Eren.]
Understood. I won't call you by a name that hasn't been earned. Still, I would like to know, since you are willing.
[It's offered simply, and with no further preamble. He has offered, and with both others present curious, there is no further reason to delay. True, there is also not much else to offer, but neither does there need to be, as far as Lahabrea is concerned.]
lmk if u guys wanna move toward a wrap or if you have more <3 hehe
[There's a nod in return, likely meant as thanks for keeping it secret, but beyond that, it's clear that Lahabrea has nothing more to say on that particular subject.]
[It seems the conversation has come to a natural end, then. Eren, not being much for small talk, recalls why he came in the first place. Glancing at Hythlodaeus, he presses two palms on the table and politely pushes himself up.]
My intention was to steal Hythlodaeus away. [He looks again to his partner.
[Then to "Lahabrea".]
It's good we've introduced ourselves properly, now. [That's the closest to a "it was nice to meet you" that he can get.]
[Hythlodaeus seems vaguely amused at that, but of course he knew from the moment he saw Eren at his doorstep that he would be whisked away to the farm.]
Full glad am I to see you both getting along.
[He stands as well, giving Eren a soft smile. He appreciates it. He can't very well apologise to Lahabrea for leaving the ruined dinner in his hands when Eren is here, but when he looks over to his fellow Ancient his gaze is somewhat apologetic.]
I will be back tomorrow, I suppose. Until then, my friend.
[His hand finds Eren's as they head towards the door, his other hand lifting in farewell to Lahabrea.]
[He has no hold over Hythlodaeus, for all that they should happen to live together, and though it means that he will have to find something to do with the ruined dinner than so be it. He will manage, and he can hardly begrudge either of them the desire to spend time together.
Instead, there's merely one last nod as the both of them leave for the farm.]

If you are willing to share, then by all means.
[It will likely be more of a big deal to Hythlodaeus than Eren, to whom he shoots a smile.]

[But he makes no further fuss; merely nods his head once, acknowledgement and appreciation.
[Hythlodaeus would probably say "well met," or something like that.]
It will be kept between us.
eren can drag hyth off soon yes!
In that case... well met, Hephaistos.
[He beams, obviously pleased to know his friend's name.]
'Tis as Eren says. It will be kept a secret.
yeah, we can work towards wrap!
