If you are speaking in general terms about shadows, I must say I am rather partial to them.

Marvelous things, shadows. In whatever sense.

If may ask, where does your interest in them come from?

My father, I suppose.

He had an interest in them as well?

I must say my interest...is somewhat related to my profession. *chuckles slightly*

Oh, definitely. He also rather enjoyed jumping out of them.

Really? So is mine...in a manner of speaking.

Why? Did he enjoy startling the daylights out of people?

I must say, shadows do make up a bit of my current professional identity.

I have a feeling there is a lot more your story about the shadows than there is about mine...

That's probably the most likely explanation, yes. Though with him you can never be too certain. He does have rather an... unusual sense of humour, after all.

I must say, you have me a little curious over yourself, Sir. You certainly are a man of mystery.

And as for that, well... you wouldn't begrudge me a little mystery of my own, would you?

I'm told I have a rather unusual sense of humor as well.

Ah yes, well I am mysterious by choice. For now, I only let people know of my alias if they are not familiar with who I am already. I'm the Banker for the version of the game show Deal or No Deal that airs in the United States. (I also cannot assume where you are from and several versions of the show air around the world.)

I could not begrudge you for keeping secrets as that would be rather hypocritical of me. However, might I ask your name? Or at the very least a title of some sort I could call you by?

*smiles*

I can respect that, certainly. Though, yes, come to think of it I do believe I'm vaguely familiar with the show. I can't say I know which version, though. I'm rather the wandering sort.

My name? Well, since you asked so very nicely, you may call me Hare. Or The Traveller, if we're going by title.

A pleasure to meet you, Sir.

I see. Well perhaps you may see the version I'm part of in the future.

Whichever you prefer to be called is fine by me. I tend to ask for either a name or title since I do not give out my actual name. Some people believe I shouldn't ask for their names if I do not give out my own.

Anyway, a pleasure to speak with you as well.

I shall be sure to keep an eye out, should circumstances allow.

Its really no trouble, eitherway. Strictly speaking I don't actually have a name...Hare is sort of a nickname I acquired during my early travels... a metaphor for my childhood, I suppose.

Why? Its possible to have a perfectly amicable conversation without names ever really factoring in. There's no reason to force the point is there?

*smiles*

I see.

Well yes, it is quite possible to have a conversation without names ever factoring in. It seems that names play a factor when telling others about you. Or, some people do find it awfully rude if you cannot remember their names.

I believe it's more for etiquette and reference sake than for any other reasons.

Eitherway, nothing that we need concern ourselves with. I am quite content with knowing you as you are, and you me.
