"Ah... yes. Right. This is Edensphere. You've just been born - i-it's the same for everyone. You probably can't remember much... b-but you should have had a dream! Yes! A dream - a-a link to your past. Many newborns choose to, w-well..." She rotated her hand absentmindedly. "Use it to make a new name for themselves."
Her eyes snapped open when she remembered another thing. "Oh! A-a-and you're twins - b-brother and sister. You're very lucky."

"The dream is normal, then?" he asked, following the girl's example and clearing the goo out of his hair. He didn't know what to think, a chill running down his spine knowing that it was real, some link to his past--that dream. If she'd said it was normal, it was normal, but he didn't know how he could possibly want to derive a name from an awful dream, with silver foxes and--

Then she caught herself, blushed a little, and continued on. "B-but anyway - June, right?" She took out a small notepad and wrote it down, then replaced it in her pouch. "You'll need t-these..."

"This amount of coins should sustain you u-until you find a job, t-that is." She offered one pouch to each of them, her hand still shaking as it came closer to the yet unnamed man. She tried looking him in the eye. "O-outside of this Hall, there is a-a posting. T-there you can l-look for an open p-position. It changes, so..."
She looked away then - that was all she could take. "Y-your name, s-sir?" She inquired with as little quiver to her voice as she could manage.

His attention turned back toward Iris, who was still so skittish, and he didn't know how to deal with that. He was plainly making her nervous. Perhaps it would be best to speed things along, whatever stigma he carried removed from her presence, if it would make her more comfortable. And he still needed a name.
A name. He closed his eyes and shrugged, trying to think of anything that would work. Instead of focusing on a name, though, the memory of his dream flooded him again, leaving him feeling like he'd been dunked in ice water glinting with the same silver-sheen of the fox from his dream. A fox and a peach tree ( ... )
