Casper was tempted to disagree with her saying that she understood, but he figured it would be rude, maybe insensitive. He sighed, frustrated with himself. The way he was acting now was weird for him. It was probably the weather. When she smiled, he was relieved.He nodded, a little grateful that she decided to introduce herself, and that he didn't have to ask. Now, half of his thoughts was screaming at himself, telling him to stop and run off and forget this Faeya girl, but the other half was getting excited. It had been a while since he had a conversation with a girl. Or have a girl say her name to him. Or even have a conversation this long with anyone, really. Right now he felt as if he got stuck under the ocean a couple of years ago or so, and then suddenly he was pulled up. And the quiet part of him wanted to go back to the stupid ocean. It was crazy.Casper realized he had spaced out, and she had said some more things while he was stuck thinking. He took a breath and forced the will to compose himself again. "Oh - that's a cool name. Yeah." "They do? Why?"

Faeya smirked slightly. "Because I rejected their oh-so charming requests of sleeping with them... or I just scare them." She glanced at him for a second to see for any reaction, but of course she expected the worst to happen. She always expected the worst. Faeya shook her head as memories of what men did to her in the past and quickly added "it's much better to be feared than to be afraid" unintentionally. Her mind fell even darker, but she kept her facade up, never showing any kind of weakness. Everything was a weakness if it meant someone else was controlling what should be hers. She didn't have control back then, but now. Now she does. She snapped out of her small thought process and looked over at him again. "By the way, what's your name?"
