Oh, well... It could be any number of things? After all, I don't know the naming conventions of the place you come from. I only have your surname to base my guesses on. Arden, like a forest-- There is actually a great Forest of Arden outside my home city of Amber. Full of sharp, quick hounds who would soon enough hunt down any intruders. You fit the name quite nicely, in that respect.
[ He wants to see a showdown, now, between Lady Ardenbury and his brother Julian. ]
The color of your hair gives me certain ideas as to some... poetic sort of first names. Rose, Scarlett, Poppy. Amber, of course. But having both a given name and a surname that match my home so succinctly would seem a little too coincidental, don't you think? And none of those reddish names suit you. You deserve a name more refined, more beautiful.
Egads, you don't even charge for all this flattery. More refined than a rose? I can only imagine what this land of yours must be...though I wonder about this comparison to dogs...
Alright, I admit, my brother's hounds don't sound like the most flattering comparison, but in my defense... You haven't seen his hounds. They're powerful, fast, and strong. Once they have their goal, they'll chase after it unfailingly until they hold it in their jaws.
[ He gestures, still trying for that charming smile. ]
