Blackfoot Forest Fehu

What is your name? Came a voice from somewhere nearby; he seemed to startle at the sound of it, fix the stranger in his vision as if for the first time. She was pretty! Her face was so pale, but the rest of her looked more like the mountains surrounding them - murky grey, with sharp edges. It seemed odd to him that someone would ask him for a name when they hadn't introduced themselves, or said hello.

But he tried to think, and opened his mouth to say, Tryphon, although he lacked certainty. A second later he shook his head and said, No no, its... Laurel? No, um, this went on for a minute or two; the more time he spent trying to think of names, the longer he retained the moment. But he'd named himself a myriad of things by then — Kaskara, Valtyr, Kevlyn, among them. As soon as he realized he didn't know, he frowned - stood up - became irate, and called out, Well you should know! You -- you must know, I don't --

He stomped about for a few seconds and then saw a flash of movement in his peripheral vision; a bird taking flight after all the shouting, and as it winged away so did his frustration. He was quiet after that, forgetting what he'd been saying.
