He was wandering back to where he assumed that Owner lived. He tried remembering where it was as he stumbled around in the dark. He tripped on something and fell to the ground he grumbled something under his breath in frustration. He was so used to being able to see in the dark.

Where are you going? Owner asked, his voice echoing through his mind.

"Your house." He whispered. "Wherever it is"

It was destroyed. It was in the middle of the village, which you nuked. Owner snarked, clearly upset.

"That was my bad." He responded. "Here." He said then all of a sudden a ghost-like figure of Owner appeared floating next to him.

"What did you do?" He asked as he glanced down at his ghostly body.

"Honestly I don't know how to explain it." he responded to Owner who looked surprised but slightly happy.

"Well on this topic I have some questions about you." Owner said, floating beside him.

"Really, well how about you ask me a question and I ask you a question, seem fair?" He asked, Owner hesitated and then nodded.
"Alright, fine."

"You go first owner."

"Alright, Do you have a name?" Owner asked. He hesitated, stopping to think for a second.

"No," He responded, "We usually don't have names, We are called reapers where I'm from." He explained quickly. Owner looked at him surprised.

"Like a grim reaper? Wait so that means I'm dead?" Owner asked panicky, glancing left and right.

"Essentially." He instantly knew that was the wrong thing to say since Owners eyes widened and he gasped.
"I'm only 28, What could I have died too?" Owner wondered aloud. He shrugged. "Okay this is getting confusing, you don't have a name right?" Owner asked, "Can I give you a name?"

"Sure," He responded, Owner thought for a second and then asked,

"How does Reyes sound?"

"I like it." Reyes responded, "What does it mean?" he asked. Owner paused and laughed.

"Its the name of a video game character, he also goes by reaper, I just assumed it fit." Owner explained.

"Alright my turn for a question," Reyes told him calmly. Owner snorted and waved his hand for Reyes to continue.

"What did you do?" He asked. Owner shuffled uncomfortably.

"W-what do you mean?" He asked, chuckling awkwardly.

"You know exactly what I mean, my kind usually only come after a person who has done something bad dies. " Reyes told him. Owner shrugged and turned back to look at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said defiantly. He paused, as Reyes stopped walking. "Oh really you're gonna do this." He rolled his eyes. "Fine."

"Thank you." Reyes responded, continuing to walk again.

"I used to be a thief, A good one too." He started. Reyes shrugged.

"That doesn't seem so bad." Reyes muttered.

"Yeah well then I started to steal in groups, we took on some pretty big things." Owner said, his ghostly hand pointing forwards. "Then I moved into this village. I met some really nice people. You know, Meme, Laff, Blaza, Nadwe, Muffin, Joocie. People like that." He said, "My sister never really approved of my lifestyle before so I promised her I would change." Pain could be heard in his voice as he mentioned his sister. "Then we got raided, One of my thief friends recognized me, He was about to call me out to Meme who was in earshot. So I killed my old friend." Owner made the hand gesture of bringing an axe down on someone. "They didn't know." His voice dropped to a whisper. "They can't know." He corrected. "They can never know."

"Pfft what do you mean by that?"

"I'm telling you, Poison Socks."

"Wait- The person Socks?"

"WHO ELSE WOULD I BE TALKING ABOUT?"

"I don't know! The name can get confusing sometimes....He's my friend why would I do that?"

"I don't know! Maybe because I told you to."

"Hey, don't mock me!"

"Don't mock me! Who's in charge here?"
"Ow, did you have to hit me?"

"That didn't hurt, don't lie!"

"Ah and you're some big truth telling wizard right?"
"I always tell the truth."
"That's not true."

"And you would know about telling the truth, huh Tbhhonest?"
