"Because I'm kind of... an accessory to Will," Malcolm suggests. "For him, I mean."

"No," Ulla says. "You aren't anyone's accessory. And if that's what you thought I meant by inviting you, you're wrong. He wouldn't... call you family and then look at you like an object. Neither would I."

She huffs out a breath, then adds, "It's simplest because presumably Will is the person you'd wind up talking to most often. But I've heard some people call him Red, and that's probably good too. You could use Jasper, but pretty much no one except me and perhaps Florian uses that, so it leads to questions, like yours. I think Sweeney might be his least favorite of all the names he's had, so any of those ought to be a significant improvement. If you do decide to ask him, keep it simple and direct."

He considers that thoughtfully. Then he looks up at her. "Give me an example of what you mean by 'simple and direct'," he requests, because when people give him instructions that subjective, he tends to get them wrong.
