"What importance are names? Oh fine. Hm... I'll put it this way, I'm an old friend. I've been around a long time, watching you play your little games"
[i]The figure turns back to the way he was[/i]
"And now I've decided to finally come out of hiding. See what trouble I can get into"
[i]He turns his head slightly[/i]

[i]the figure laughs[/i] "Mind games, I see..." [i]The figure pulls out a piece of paper, writes a single letter on it, and places it on a tree The letter is R[/i] "You want my name? There's the first letter. Play a little game to figure it out. I'll warn you though, my name is a bit tricky to pronounce for some people" [i]The figure resumes looking into the distance[/i]

[i]The figure turns a little[/i] "I wasn't forcing you, or anyone for that matter. It's there if you're curious enough. If you want, consider me "The Merchant" until you find out my name, it seems to be a title I picked up somewhere. Satisfied? Good" [i]The Merchant turns back to look at the sky for a bit, then decides this has gotten boring and looks for somewhere else that's interesting[/i]

"Not Interesting? good luck finding another trader to get goods."

[i]The Merchant chuckles as he's walking away[/i] "I have my ways"

"anyhow, best of luck"
