He didn't think much of it. Nikola Tesla was a hero to the Slavs. Croats and Serbs alike, because he was a man of both peoples as he became a man of America. He was a pride, a great mind that came from their land before the hatred got especially bad. Dead, living, he is a man that exists forever to them. Of course Dorian should say "is".

And besides that, Niko's English wouldn't have clued him in immediately anyway. But he still looked pleased that the name of a national hero was recognized over the brutality of a senseless war. "Well, I don't know if named after. Is a pretty common name. I was just telling a friend here that I had a friend named Dragan. You would think it was an impressive masculine name in English, but is a fairly common men's name that means 'Precious'."

He was also pleased to meet more people that seemed relatively modern, but didn't have all the amenities of modern life growing up- if he only knew.
