Curse

So uncomfortable. Ace thought, looking at the silence in the carriage. The others stared intently at this new boy that came out of nowhere. 

Someone ask him something, please.

"So, what is your name?" Ajax asked, almost as though he read Ace's mind, smiling at the surprised boy. "Is something wrong, Ace?" 

"No. Nothing." Ace said, quickly clearing his throat. "It's nothing. I was just ... surprised." 

"Why?" 

"I forgot to ask his name." Ace said turning to the boy, "Your name and age, Egon." 

For a couple of seconds, the entire carriage fell silent once again, everyone staring at Ace who looked just about as lost as a baby turtle that just hatched on the concrete ground. 

"What?" 

"You ... you know my name." The boy said, pointing to Issac, eyes wide with wonder.

"No, I don't." Ace said, quickly looking out the window.

"But, I heard you say my name."
