If people knew Noodle was the king of all dogs, there would be anarchy and potentially rebellion. Noodle can only do so much, but dogs like to complain about funny things.
[She pets Noodle idly.]
Also, secret king of all dogs is actually the full title, and if you say a secret it's no longer a secret. So far it's just you, me, Camilla, Palamedes, Pyrrha, Hot Sauce, Honesty, Beautiful Ruby, Born in the Morning and Kevin that know about Noodle's secret title.
[She gets the feeling she's being humored but she chatters away about it anyway, stroking Noodle's fur. It helps keep her mind off of the smell of Sonya's meat as he died.]
[ This raises so many more questions than it answers... and yet it's elaborate enough to make one very curious. Nona is not the only one getting pleasantly distracted from the whole death and dying thing here. ]
I'm honored to be included in the group. Your faith is not going to be misplaced.
[ And this is true, she is honored. Whether or not the dog thing will ever make sense to her. ]
So... do the dogs know he's their king and it's humans who aren't allowed to know? Or is he in hiding from the dogs as well?
I don't know who I am. I don't remember. [They can't forget.] Nona was my first word.
Well, actually my first words were "No" and "No" but it turned into Nona later. Strangers don't know that, they assume I'm Nona because that's what I was born as. I don't know what I was born as, but I know these eyes aren't mine. [She looks away from the ocean and blinks at Lacus, her eyes shining brightly despite the glum tone of her voice.]
[ Lacus can't say she understands exactly what it is that created Nona, but she can think of people who this reminds her of. People who share the faces of someone else, or even the genetic make-up of someone else, trapped between being who they are and the looming specter of another being.
And then a man who lost his memories, who went by a different name entirely... Mu got his memories back eventually. Would 'Nona'? That's a question only the future can answer.
For now, it isn't that important. ]
You're you. Regardless of who you look like, regardless of what you remember... Who you are now, what you feel and think... That's precious.
I don't think I've ever met somebody who spoke the word 'love' so easily.
[ Judging by her smile, she does not think this is a bad thing at all. There is no reason to doubt Nona's declarations - there are people here who feel full of deceit, but Nona is not among them. ]

Noodle's court of loyal followers know, and that's enough. It's like how only my friends know I'm Nona. It's a secret.

Why's that, if you don't mind sharing? Names can be quite complicated and heavy things, I know.
[ "Lacus Clyne" certainly feels like a power that has developed its own gravitational field beyond her as a person. ]

I love being Nona. I want to be Nona forever.
Nona is Lacus' friend, and I love you, so I love being Nona for that too.

Everyone and everything deserves love. And also, I mean it, I promise.
