"A new name for you, huh?"
That's unexpected. And a great responsibility, as well. How do you choose the name of a person like that? An adult person.
More than simply adult. She's at least thirteen hundred years old.
Her being a scorpion person makes me think of the Orion myth, but in the myth, the scorpion has no name, and it kills the hero, Orion. Not exactly a solid reference.
"Can I have some time to think about it?"
"Of course. Take your time."
So it's decided.

It's customary to bring a few spare clothes between the group when dungeon delving. After all, monsters slashing clothes apart are not a rare occurrence.
That means that we quickly had a set of clothes for the 'awaiting new name' girl and for myself. Including a new boot so I won't have to brave the Barrens barefoot on our way back.
I'm getting really tired. I don't know for how long I've passed out down there in the chamber with her. I didn't ask, but from Yaci's reaction, I guess it was a long time.
