"Oh!" You blink, not really having given thought to it. "I'm..." You draw a blank for a second, enough time for your feline companion's eyes to widen.
"Wait, don't-" He begins, only for a name to pop into your head.
"It's Mephiti, but my friends call me Mephy." You say earnestly, only to blink in surprise as he groans. "Is something the matter?"
Duncan shakes his head, looking to you with a wry grin. "Sorry, but that's just the way that our world works. If you can't think of a name, you get assigned one; usually based on your species. At least it's not as bad as the barmaid's." He grins, turning on his heel and beginning to walk towards what looks to be a small town.
"H-hey!" You call, eyes wide. "Where are you going? We're not done talking!"
"I know we're not! But, since you're a new player, that means you should probably head with me to the town; right?" Duncan grins, jerking a thumb towards his chest. "After all, it's my job as the Guide to get you off on your adventure!"
You're struck mildly speechless by his words, a little unsure of what to do. You'll need to run to catch up with him, but is it better to follow him or stick it out on your own?
