He sat down in the offered chair, then gave a nod. “If I might inquire, should I address you as Dr. Pongo, or Dr. Bubbles, or is the division of the name itself considered culturally inappropriate?”

Pongo swarmed slash clambered up into the chair behind the desk, like a child getting into his father’s chair. While a bit comical in execution as he did so, nothing about his posture and bearing said immediately it was not his chair. Warm brown eyes regarded the Vulcan across from him. His lips rolled back in another smile as he settled, and laughed a bit. “Well I could bore you with the full naming conventions, and traditions of the Tuan, but to answer your question, the me that is me is called Pongo, but officially Doctor Bubbles, or Commander Bubbles. Honestly as long as I know you mean me I will likely answer. Especially since neither name is the entirety of my name.” Pongo stretched his arms out wide, “If I used them all it could take all day to sign things.”

The office reflected the being in many ways, there were plants that were secured in place to give the room a green aura, and a bowl of fresh fruit on the desk on side, a bowl of mixed nuts on the other. His current stacks of PaDDs was not overly large, so either there was not much going on or he stayed on top of things. “What do you prefer to be called?” Pongo asked with yet another smile, and wiggle of settling. The furry doctor seemed to be in motion even when still.

Lt Cmdr Pongo Bubbles, MD, CMO

In contrast, Tauren seemed to be still, even when he was in motion. “Tauren is the only name I have which… can be pronounced,” he said. He gave a cursory glance to the plants, then to the fruit bowl. “Therefore it is the best name to use to address me.” His eyes lost focus for just a moment, as he considered his commander. Certainly he was impulsive and.... twitchy. But he didn’t seem to be significantly worse in this respect than any other species which didn’t embrace logic, and nothing thusfar had suggested he wasn’t competent at medicine or as a commanding officer.
