"A few people know it now. Either because I told 'em or they found out by accident." Well, that last one is mostly Tendi, but more people know his name than Abel is aware of. "And..."
He sighs out a sharp breath and his frown deepens.
"I've liked it. Being called that again, even if it was strange at first. 'Cain' is... something the Alliance gave me. And you know I wasn't there because I really wanted to be." Oh, there's a lot more to it than that; he's barely skimming the surface. "Didn't bother me before, but I'm starting to feel like it's a fucking weight around my neck."
