In direct contrast, the Siren couldn't have looked more tickled, the surly look he got only appearing to further entertain him. Even the answer he got didn't seem to dampen the faerie's mood, in fact earning an outright giggle from him.

"That's fair man, that's fair. Y'don't gotta tell me, I wouldn't if I were you either." And yet in spite of that, at the question of his own name, the Siren beamed, flashing a head full of teeth far too sharp for a human mouth.

"Yeah sure man, it's-" What came next was most certainly not what would pass for a 'name', at least as far as human ears went. It was certainly a sound, that was for sure, but an intelligible name with syllables and letters? No, it started with what sounded like the rolling, distant call of some impossibly massive creature, keening, mournful and echoing. Rattling quickly after it in rapid succession was a series of sharp pings, akin to the noise of a glacier melting in fathomlessly deep salt water.

He looked happy with himself as he finished 'saying' his name, pausing for a second before continuing: "But the last guy called me Eddy."
