What...?

[Dawnika Snow]

The sudden display of anguish caught Dawn off guard. Ballad acted as if someone had just run him through with spear, without mercy to boot. She figured she should ask if was alright, but by the time she worked up the words, he was already finished.

The answer left Dawn even more irritated than before. It was terrifying to only know your name, it made the hair on her neck stand up. Well, things can always be worse; she wasn't in any danger, yet at least.

“This is disappointing and stupid! Why would I forget everything about me but my name?!” Ballad seemed to react to that statement. His eyes widened for a second before he spoke.

“You have lost your memories as well?” He asked, sounding just as confused as her. It made Dawn pause.

“Uh, yeah? Is it the same for you?” Ballad responded with a nod. Dawn pinched the bridge of her nose annoyed.

“Well, I offer a temporary alliance until we regain our memories. What say you- Actually, I didn't catch your name.”

“I am named Ballad, and you?” He asked in return.

An...odd name? She didn't know what to say about it, but the simple sound of it made her muscles tense a little.

“Dawn. Dawn Snow.” She said replacing the rifle in its holster.
