Eleven returned his smile, heartened, though it faded some where it came to his name. As ever, there was something odd about it- but, at the least, Slick wasn't directly asking if he had ten siblings.

"It's an unusual name," he acknowledged, fidgeting a bit with his buckles. "I can't imagine why my birthparents chose it. I've taken to the assumption that it must have meant something different in the kingdom they were from. Much of the region I was raised in held names related to minerals or gems, so perhaps Dundrasil had something like that."

It still didn't make a great deal of sense given the three people he knew from that region didn't have names related to numbers at all, but it was the most likely explanation he could offer. Goddess only knew if Rab would have any insight on that front.
