[ Oh. They didn't think it would be such a change, being called by their real name. But, it almost feels like talking with her for the first time. During this entire war, keeping the title Berserker, or even Beroppi, allowed them to keep a bit of distance between the person they were at home and the person they are here. In a way, it was like putting on a mask. It feels... really nice, to be their true self with her.
The smile that breaks out on their face is warmer and brighter for it — unbidden by the tension that their features are typically wrought by. That they trust her completely is clear — they'd never relax this way around anyone else. ]

She reaches to squeeze their hands again, grinning.]
Aw, look! You've got such a nice smile, Crona! It's, like, lighting up this whole room to the max!
