Rather than answer the simple question, he went off on a tangent about his name. Haunt quirked a brow, wondering why he divulged so much personal information while avoiding the topic of his residence. It didn't bother her, per se, though she found it curious, just like his shift in demeanor.
She opened her mouth to introduce herself when she had a sudden thought, perhaps inspired by her recent encounter with Fennec. Haunt had never tried to fool anyone, nor play games. She was about as straight-laced as they came. But with Rye's reluctance to be forthright with her, the young huntress found she couldn't resist the temptation to test these foreign waters.
"Sylph. My name is Sylph," she said, pulling the name out of thin air. She wasn't entirely sure she sounded convincing. But why would he doubt her? "Sylph Arktoi." It made her think of Artemis. She'd probably picked up "sylph" from one of her dreams of the deity.
She almost mentioned Sapphique, though if Rye wasn't going to tell her about his pack, then maybe she should keep that information close to the vest too. Better yet, why not run with the lie? "I'm from a pack called Legion." That wasn't even totally untrue. Maybe the best tales were spun from a kernel of truth. "I'm the leader's daughter. She sent me out to..." Haunt paused before concluding, "Find her a potential suitor."
