He stops humming and steps forward, his shadow falling over her like a warm blanket. The colorful mold and mushrooms begin to grow over the ghoul as the darkness passes over it. "What's wrong, good slayer?"
The moth recoils from the fungus that surges forth to feast on the ghoul, before recoiling in shock again at the sudden words. She stands to her feet with unusual quickness, though she stumbles somewhat right after. "...At the moment?... a lot. It's a long story, really, and a strange one at that." She seems wary of him, though not enough to feel in imminent danger.
He observes her silently for several seconds before placing his hat to his chest. "Oh, you poor dear..." He crouches and holds out his free hand to help her up. "You've met her. No wonder you're frightened."
She hesitates for a moment, before taking his hand as he helps her to her feet. "...Unfortunately, yes. She thinks she's entitled to take me from my home... from my mother. I bought myself time, but... I- I don't know what to do." She's shivering just thinking about it. "...I thought maybe, I could sever my connection to her, replace it, but... I'm not sure."

"Do you need any help?" He takes off his mycelium-draped cape and offers it to her.

She eyes the cloak and its holder with suspicion for a moment, before thinking to herself and responding a second later. "I... I think so, yes, and thank you. Any help is greatly appreciated." She accepts the cloak, letting it loosely hang around her shoulders. "...this might be a strange question, but... is there a way to change one's true name?"

She accepts the cloak, letting it loosely hang around her shoulders. "...this might be a strange question, but... is there a way to change one's true name?"
The cloak is incredibly warm despite it not being built for this weather. It seems to be heated by the fungus itself. "Yes. I've done it before." He reaches out toward her, then suddenly gestures like a magician, holding a gleaming name tag in his hand, which he holds out as if to drop it in her hand. "Whisper your new name. Do not tell me."

Adeline's eyes linger on the name tag, but she hesitates. "Wait, before I do this... what will this change? I know this'll make it so the Queen can't control me, but odds are there's other effects, I'd like to know them beforehand."

"You are forfeiting your old name. Your old identity. Those who know you that name won't recognize you. Worse, an unowned name can be claimed. You have a clean slate, but someone else gets your old one." He catches his breath. "But to carry such a name means you can be Named with it."

She thinks for a long time about this, trying to think of whatever nuances or caveats there are to this renaming, because even before his explanation she understood the significance of what this would do. "...I don't think many know me by that name- I go by a separate one. Adeline... it was a name given to me by my mother. Would people who don't know my by my true name... still recognize me?"
