It's easy to overthink things and make it harder on ourselves. We all do it to varying degrees, and being aware of it is a great step to getting better control on it.
[ Aventurine tilts his head a bit at the explanation. Right. It does sound Japanese-like from what he's heard of Japanese and Japanese names. Aventurine can also understand that being easier to write than a non-Japanese name. He's about to say something in response to other's real name when he blinks at that sudden mind-blowing information. He pulls back a bit to get a better look at the other— ]
... Did someone tell you that you look nineteen?
[ it's such a baby face!!! ]
I finally laid some of this year's drama to rest. Whew!
[Ah, it was like being hugged by the Trash Panda all over again. Lucifer didn't fight it- it was just awkward, not unlike all the times a friend of his whom he helped grow up reached out to ruffle his hair. ]
Luci is fine. A little kid from my world- two worlds ago- decided to call me that.
It's been trouble figuring out what to have people call me here because there's a guy with my name in some popular religion. I had to talk the guy who summons the Shikigami down.
[Very weird. He's been low key hiding from Megumi since because he didn't really want to deal with awkward questions.]
I should've just picked a name from the start, but we had decided in Japan to go by new names and keep our origins quiet from most people to make it easier. Last I counted, only two people from Japan figured it out at all, and one of them only just figured it out.

[Luci looked askance at Aventurine, much like a cat that just fell into a sink full of water.]
You said we've gotta bond, so I'm trying to tell you I was lyin' --
-- and I'm not a kid!!
<333 glad you doing better
Okay, okay~. What should I call you, then? Do you prefer Lucifer or do you want me to keep your other name in use so it's kept secret?
Hhhhh it was a Big C scare in the family. It's been a wild 3 weeks

Well, I'll call you Luci, so that's settled.

Thanks. That'll be simpler, I think. That old, serious guy already calls me that. Caelus and a few others, too.

Iron Eye has... I don't know how to put it. Grandpa vibes?

[He shared a visual through the Murmur of a wisened bird demon- taller than most humans could be but not absurdly so.]
It's less a number and more of a vibe.

[ yeah he sounds pretty fascinated by this reveal. What an interesting bird, too...! ]
