"Ugh? That's a weird name." The woman asked with a confused and complicated expression. Of course my name is not Ugh! I was just... how shameful! Please dig a hole and hide my corpse! I couldn't even answer properly to a simple question. Look! She's giggling now! Wait. Now that I think about it. What was my name again...?
"N-No." I tried to answer the nest I could. I mean, what could a person answer when they don't even know what they should respond?! At least I need to show that I am polite, right? "I-I can't remember..."
"I see..." The girl tapped her foot twice on the muddy ground. Her sneakers are getting soiled. It's a shame so pretty purple gets tainted with a murky brownish substance. "Well, that's a problem." I know, Sherlock.
"U-um... how about..." I was trying hard to think about something. Clarence? Fey? Sophia? Come on. There should be something better!
"How about I call you Audrey?" Audrey, really? I want to know the reasoning behind that name. Come on. Tell me. Tell Audrey all of your secrets!
"A-Audrey?" God I hate how high-pitched my voice is. What am I: a teenager? Don't answer that one. I know it's probably the root cause.
"Mhm! It's because you seem like a strong person. You see, in heraldry, Audrey means Noble Strength!" Oh. Oh! I wasn't expecting that one. Seems that this chick is smarter than she looks like. I am starting to like her already! I bet her name is something like Hannah or Simmone. Pretty intelligent names.
"W-what's your name?" Come on! Stop quivering when you speak! Step up your game, girl! You're going to make her find us creepy. She's giggling again. You did it. She now thinks we're a weirdo. Congratulations.
"Me? I'm Christen!" I didn't expect that one. I bet nobody did.
"C-Christen is a lovely name!" Well, at least it was not something weird like Usnavy. Pretty uncommon name still...
"Thank you! I know that's a name full of power! But the question remains... Why are you in The Forest?" Well that was an obvious one. I should've seen it coming.
"I don't know." Better reply with honesty here.
"I see... Do you know about the temple ?" Christen asked as she raised her gaze towards the outskirts of the forest. There stood that magnificent structure that left me in awe.
"I do not." What can I say besides I can't remember who the flick I am? Sigh. This is going to be a long day.
"Then let me tell you all about it..." I love stories!
