[It's very, very early morning when the video flicks on. Displaying someone who really should still have been asleep. But he's smiling, and pans the camera over to where one of the purple alien cats has apparently, in true cat fashion, decided Shiro's bedroll is its new bed, and no one else's.]
Finally got him to stick around long enough for a nap. [He's speaking in an undertone, and fondly, too.] He'll probably wander off after he wakes up, but...
Maybe we can get him to help with the hunting around here.
[A pause.] At least, I've been calling him... him.

Re: video;
I've never had a pet, so I'm not sure how people name them. Favorite characters from things? After a friend from home they might remind you of? Look up baby name meanings?

[Unlike the cave monsters.]
... I could just call him "Cat" for now.

...
Really?

[Something else to keep him up.]
...
Really.
Re: video;
Whatever works for you, man. Personally I'd fire up the name dictionary.

I'm open to suggestions.
Re: video;
Well what's his behavior like?
video;
I was going to say "like a cat", but that probably doesn't help anything. Fairly smart. Kind of aloof.
Re: video;
D, male names meaning smart, go.
[ A small holographic figure pops up at York's shoulder, glowing green. ]
Achida, Dhimani, Fahim, Fakih, Fateen, Hewitt, Nikka, Tyjah, Yi-Min, Zeki.
Hmm... not as many options as I thought. Try synonyms.
Aakil, Adalbert, Albert, Alvy, Ardal, Berto, Bertrand, Cong-Min, Cuinn.... [ He's just gonna keep going until one of them stop him. ]

[Sorry, his interest has been shifted from cat names to talking green figures.]
[Because that's uh. That's sure a thing.]
Re: video;
[ The little hologram stops reciting names and turns to look at the TAB, like it knows who's addressing him. ]
Hello. I am Delta. it is nice to meet you.
This is who I was talking about. He's my AI.
video;
[Not... something that small, anyway. Allura's father AI had been pretty close. But it usually only talked to her.]
Nice to meet you too.
... Where did you get him?
Re: video;
I was part of a military experiment that implanted them straight into our heads. He's my brain buddy.
video;
That's -- well. Pretty unique. I'll have to say.

He's an alien.
[You get where he's going with this.]
Re: video;
Purple's a good neutral name, then.
