Maybe that makes it a little less creepy from Prince Ferrari's perspective - he's stuck with that nickname for now, though the Puppet's of the mind that he'd probably prefer it to his current given title in any case - but it doesn't change the fact that it sheds a lot of uncomfortable implications in terms of what he had to do to get the proverbial puppeteer off his damn back.
It also makes it a hell of a lot easier to bullshit his way out. The Bastard might be friendly-ing it up now that they're not at each other's throats, but that's not gonna get the Puppet divulging his entire life's story, particularly since it doesn't cast him in the most flattering of lights.
"I mean, I'm as stumped as you are." He shrugs. "I figured I'd get something like The Director or The Movie Guy, but this? It just kinda came outta left field."
