"Who are you?"
The only words I could mutter as I remained locked in his trance
His glistening eyes gave away nothing as he  continued to study me

Was I an alien to him?

Just why was he studying me so intently?

"Me? The real question is who are you and why are you here?"
He asked after a few more moments of silence

"I..."
I couldn't finish the sentence
Should I tell him the truth?
That this was the place the moon shines brightest?
Should I tell him the reason I came here with a dagger in hand was-

No...

I shouldn't spoil his mood

He seemed so peaceful
Without a care in the world

It would be a sin to tell him the real reason I came here so I decided to tell him a lie instead

Well a lie laced with a small sliver of truth

"I came here to admire the moon~"
