[agodr] Riddle Me This?

"Touché," Zora laughed when Broen quipped back that trouble also followed her everywhere. Feeling her regalia put both hands on her shoulders, Zora glanced up and back at him, seeing his warning but kind look, and taking the hint to take the challenge seriously.

"It's a classic, an egg," Zora said as she sat forward in her chair and thought about her next riddle, maybe, it was too hard, she thought as she looked at Broen, but then again it was a challenge and the idea was to win, no?

"Here's a harder one for you," she warned as she cupped her coffee cup in her hands, "
What belongs to you but others use it more than you do?"

"Your first name?" Zora asked very surprised by his question and just stared at him now, not knowing what to say, embarrassed in a way that she had never inquired. The question was and wasn't a riddle, furthermore, she didn't quite know how to answer. She had filled out the bank order to him, but all he had given her were his last name and an initial.

"I am ashamed to admit this, but I don't know. All I know is that your first name starts with a G, but that's it. It could be anything really..." Zora admitted quietly as she looked at Broen, amazed they had been through so much together, yet she knew so little about him still. Forgetting also, at that moment that she had, in fact, forfeited and lost the challenge.

Zora blushed now, she was surprised - again- by Broen's offer. She hadn't remembered that she could use a hint. She had been too distracted by the fact that she didn't know something so basic about someone she cared about.

Looking at him, hearing his suggestion, Zora simply nodded, "Okay, that seems fair..." she stated uneasily, wondering what he might request of her if she couldn't guess his name. It seemed all rather Rumplestiltskin-ish and made her somewhat wary.

"A gloomy name that starts with G?" Zora murmured softly as she stared at the table thinking, then shaking her head, she gazed up at Broen again, "Gareth? Garth?" she asked him with great uncertainty, instinctively knowing she was probably wrong.

The idea that Broen was giving her another chance made Zora smile a little. Glancing up at her regalia then, she chuckled. "I know he's gloomy, he means well though," she said knowing that it was unlikely she'd fight to keep him. Though it was nice to have him around, for now.

"The opposite of who you are... that still doesn't give me much to go on. Opposite of you now, or you before..." she remarked thoughtfully, more to herself than to him as she eyed Broen over, searching his face. This was a lot harder than she expected it to be.

"Geoffrey?" Zora asked him hesitantly, thinking Broen definitely did not look like a Geoff, and so decided to throw it out there, hoping she was correct.

"Godfrey?" Zora said glancing at him, stunned by this, now biting her bottom lip, trying not to laugh. The name really did not suit him. Not at all.

"Yes, we are done with the challenge, your win obviously," Zora said smiling, conceding defeat gracefully, not actually caring that Broen had won by pulling a somewhat unorthodox question on her.

"I was hoping that I'd see you again, so yes, of course... I'd like that..." she said, ".. I'd love to just to sit and talk for a while..." Zora admitted, gazing at him softly for a moment, wondering what he wanted from her.

Feeling Aquarius's hands on her shoulders then, Zora glanced at her regalia and gestured for him to go and sit down for a while. She didn't want or need him hovering over her shoulder while she talked to Broen, Godfrey? No, she decided that she could not call him that.
