He wasn't leaving...at least, not yet. In fact, unless she had finally gone insane, it sounded like he was coming closer to her. She stayed still while he crouched and looked at her, not wanting to startle him. It seemed an eternity before another sound was heard, but when the silence broke it seemed like only a second had passed. The rustle of clothes, a footstep...his voice! Gemini had to admit to herself that she actually started to worry that he couldn't speak more than a few words.
The question caught her off guard, and for one breathless moment she wasn't sure whether to ignore him or answer him. Her mouth seemed to have a mind of it's own, however, and she found herself speaking before she had consciously decided to. "I would, if you told me yours." She said softly, opening her eyes to watch him. "I would like to trust you, and I can think of no better way than to tell you my name."
