A black sword was put to my neck.

"How do you know my name stupid Bard!"

What.

"What? Bard?!" I screeched.

"Yeah, you know, those useless pathetic adventurers that get killed all the time." She removed her blade and inched closer until her index finger was lined up with my heart and touching the fabric of my shirt.

I backed up against the tree she put a dent in with my body and scrunched away. Tears lined my eyes.

What is going on?!

"Now answer my question brat. How do you know my name?"

Confidence. Deep breaths. Determination. Go.

"I thought I was a twat waffle." I giggled. A deep growl radiated from her throat.

"I'm really starting to get annoyed with you!" She yelled.

"I thought your name was Cailin. Guess not. Well, Hi really starting to get annoyed with you!" I held out my hand to shake and smiled a genuine smile, which I I switched to fake confusion. "Man, who names their kid that?"

Her sword sliced the air, hoping to pull a Papyrus death on me.

I dodged, landing on one foot and leaning backwards to have a laid back "more powerful than I seem" facade.

"Nah, I don't really feel like it." I said, mimicking spongebob. "Anyways, my name is Gracie!" I cheered and held out my hand again.

Cailin eyed it up suspiciously and cautiously took it, and shook it as slow as humanly possible.

"Save them..." Rung in my head.

"I know we just met, but can I tag along? I'm alone and-"

"No. I don't need some brat-"

"Twat waffle."

"Ugh... I don't need some twat waffle slowing me down."

"Sorry." I smirked. "You can't stop me."
