"No kiddin', right?" Reno totally didn't see what was wrong with the name. Really. "I think Dumbass kinda suits him. So I snuck it into his name anyhow. Mako Dumbass the first. Uh. Not that I'm plannin' on starvin' him out or whatever so I gotta get a second or nothin'. Just, 'Mako Dumbass' seemed kinda plain."

Reno pointed Mako off toward Rude, gave him a little 'go get'im' smack on the but, and sent the ferret wheeling off in the big guy's direction.
