“I was just yankin ya. Of course it’s Azzo.” Remi winced inside, repeating the name. Azzo. Azzo. Azzo. Time for word association. What rhymes with Azzo. Orzo? Orzo looks like rice. Azzo is nice. Nice guy. Orzo. Azzo. Okay, he’d try with that for now.
Settled in bed, it wasn’t very hard to sleep at all. Remi was a quick sleeper. From going to computer desk to his own bed, he could go from fully awake to lights out in seconds. It also helped that Azzo’s bed was made and devoid of any missing pens or loose notebooks that Remi might have tossed on his bed while sorting through his room. The fact there were 3 creepy dolls staring at him meant it took a few minutes, but his breathing slowed and he was resting. For something he had heard in most every hypnotizing scene on TV, it was rather effective.

Azzo chuckled and grinned as he waved his hand over Remi's eyes. Just to make sure he was asleep he posed the question, "Are you asleep?" He asked looking at Remi to see if the involuntary yes was there.
After the reply Azzo would always start with simple things. "Now Remi, I want you to touch your nose with your right hand." He watched Remi for responses.

The responses were quick without any reason for hesitation. Remi gave a slow “yes” in a tone that was uncharacteristically less cheerful than what he usually spoke in. On the next command, he lifted his right hand up to touch his nose, keeping his finger there until given orders otherwise. If Remi had given this a second thought, he might have asked if Quinn had told other people if he was a hypnotist or not. Anyone passing by might wonder what was really going on. Luckily, Remi wasn’t thinking of anything other than keeping his finger in place.

"Okay hand down." Azzo said thinking as he looked at Remi
"Now then stand up if you please, and say my name." He wanted to see if Remi really was kidding about calling him Pablo. The curiosity sometimes over rode the entire purpose of the event in which he was working.
Of course if he got called Pablo again he could maybe fix that with Hypnotism and figured he'd have to at the very least give it a chance or two.
Azzo of course leaned on the door jam by now watching Remi with his arms crossed and keeping an occasional eye out in the hallway in case someone came by to well throw them off of what he was doing.

Remi flopped his hand down before turning on his side and pushing off the bed. Standing at attention, he opened his mouth, but paused. His expression resembled someone trying to read a sign at a distance and he let his tongue move on it’s own, rolling silently to figure out the name. Nice. Rice. Orzo. Even with that much help, he couldn’t connect Orzo to Azzo, and was left thinking of food.
“Orzo.” It was just enough to be an answer, but was raised at the end to almost pose a question. Even he wasn’t sure if that was the name. He had a face and a list of connections, but Azzo was not floating in his mind. It was almost just enough to make his current state break, but he pushed onward.
Much like a sleepwalking robot, Remi waited his next command.

Azzo had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing, "Lets try this, Repeat after me. The Puppet Masters name is Azzo."
He paused watching Remi almost come out of the trance but somehow go back under it at his own will. A curious brow lofted, interested as to why this might happen. Maybe he still had more studying to do on the subject than he thought. Granted he'd been hypnotizing for years, this was the first time someone under their own power went back into the trance.

It was an easy enough command and one that Remi had no problem with repeating. "The Puppet Master's name is Azzo." Easy. It required as little thought as touching his nose had. If he had been conscious, saying the words 'puppet master' would have sounded weird to him. Instead, he repeated the words in the same tone he would have said 'student' or 'teacher' as if they were all very commonplace.

Azzo nodded, "Now put the face that you've seen for 'Orzo' to Azzo, the puppet master."
He was watching Remi, "Now then, if I was to ask you again, what my name was, the answer would be?"

“Azzo!” He sang out, easily making the association. It wasn’t really hard when you were being fed the information without any reason to second guess it. However, a learning hypnotist could not foresee any lasting problems. In years to come, Remi would still say, “Pass the Azzo.” despite his best efforts to correct himself.

Azzo watched him and shook his head slightly amused, hoping that, it worked. Anyways hum, it was probably about time to bring the guy around and let him go on his way.
After all they could pick up next time on this little adventure, "Now then when I tap your shoulder you'll wake up from your sleep." And with a tap he waited for the boy to come to.

He came too easily enough, and blinked away the sleep from his eyes. The room came to, and he licked his lips, feeling somewhat dry. When he laid down and returned to be sitting up, he knew something had to have happened. Checking himself, he saw he still was in much of the same state as he remembered a few seconds ago. Pants were still on, which was the most important part. There wasn’t an audience gawking in through the door either.
“So did it happen?” If anything, he at least got a short nap out of it. If he ever needed a quick fix for insomnia, he’d crash at Azzo’s place.

Azzo hung up the Dragon that he'd been working on earlier, "Well if you remember my name that'd tell you something." The dragon hung on two hooks in front of the closet instead of one, and across from his head Azzo hung the knight.
"Figured you might have more things to do today than just have a nap."

Stretching, Remi gave a short chuckle as he got up. “You really don’t know me.” The fact the boy even used the word schedule meant he still had a lot to learn about old Remington Montgomery. Still very hungry, it was about time he checked up on the 2nd floor kitchen to see if any lovelies were making anything. He now had a mad hankering for some Chinese food.
“Well, see you around, Azzo, the puppet master.” From that point on, Azzo would never be without his full title.
