In reality's shadow the blind see best.


I’m Mesec, by the way.

His words rung in her ears. They felt hot and sticky, like his name had some how weaseled into her mind and was clinging to the walls of her skull.

I’m Mesec, by the way.

Couldn't they have just gone on without names? They'd clearly already bypassed the portion of the conversation where names were usually offered ... The girl's mind blanked as she tried to think of something to say, some way to skirt the subject. She already surmised that Mesec found her a little strange (likely a lot, not just a little), and for some reason her mind didn't want to press that boundary anymore. How much would he take before he decided that she was simply too bizarre to put up with? For the first time in her short life, she found someone who she didn't want to push away - with magic or with words.

But what else was there to say but the truth?

"I don't have a name." The insecurity she felt was cleverly masked. Her tone of voice sounded as analytic as it had been before. The girl's larger golden eyes blinked carefully as she tried to casually study his response to her statement before she continued. "Names are important. For the rest of my days, there will be one word. One word which is mine, which means me. I've seen horses worry about markings that they put on their bodies, citing that it will be there forever so they'd better choose carefully ... and yet ... no one thinks about their name." Pausing, she let a smile grace her dark lips. "And I've heard some silly ones. So-" Shrugging her elegant blood-stained shoulders, she indicated ambivalence on the subject. "-I'm waiting until I find the perfect one."

It all sounded so reasonable in her head. Would it sound as reasonable to Mesec?
