"i am looking for someone," she told him with a slight movement of her ears. "have you met a constantine? or a floki?" she then asked, hoping he had some sort of information.

she remembered he'd said he wasn't good with names, and became a bit discouraged before he'd even answered, but she knew it was worth a shot to ask.
