It was so amusing to see the boy's reaction. But really, what was so strange about the idea? (One must note that Recluse is the ruler of a place where villains have been heard to swear that they received orders directly from a television, via X-Files, Dragnet and even Pokemon. Strange is par for the course.)
At least he finally was able to get something useful out of one of these people. He smiled slightly, an expression that always came across as disconcerting, no matter how thoroughly he hid his true feelings. "Thank you. I think I'll be alright from here." He turned to leave. Oh, wait. Damn. Humans generally liked introductions, didn't they? He turned again to glance back at the boy.
"By the way... My name's Stefan. Nice meeting you." The old name again. He hated it. But without the spider aspects, Recluse just seemed a little rediculous here.
