It didn't come as strange to Aectaeon that the individual was asking for his true name.
If they had a bit of knowledge about the Obelisk, then the fact that the players' true names ought to be hidden should be known by them as well.
For some reason, Aectaeon didn't feel the need to hide his true name. The individual in front of him was clearly not a player. In the event that they were a player posing as an otherworldly being, Aectaeon didn't have the chance to keep the truth from the very beginning.
Rather than being cautious, Aectaeon believed that this was a question that warranted his complete honesty.
Whether he would perish from his decision or not, Aectaeon was willing to accept any outcome.
With a sigh, the man said, "Aectaeon Schevel Foester, that's my name. In return, please tell me your name. It's the right way to converse, right?"
"Aectaeon? That's quite a familiar name. I don't know where I've heard that before."
