As I fly towards a particuarly large spire, I feel a hand clamp onto my shoulder.
"So big fella, you gotta plan?"
"How nice of you to show up Efink." I reply, deliberatly avoiding the question.
"Ugh...look could you not call me that."
"Well what else am I supposed to call you other than your name?"
"That's the thing, it's not
my name."
I turn to the man formerly known as Efink (Noting hes still wearing his
teal coloured
knightly get up) and cock an eyebrow.
"But you said it was your name, back on Gashog."
"I never said that, you simply assumed that I was Efink."
"Then why did you lie to me and pretend you were!?"
"I never pretended to be anyone, I was simply myself. And beside, lies of omission do not exist."
"Bullshit."
A stiffling silence fills the cockpit, broken as I sigh tiredly.
"Ok then, what
is your real name then."
"Knife."
"Yes, well?"
"No, that's my name. Knife 28."
If the pelican were a car, now would be the moment I slammed on the brakes. As is, I just look at him with an expression of pure confusion.
"What."
"I'm an alternate version of you, or, your an alternate version of me, either way, that's it."
"But how, wouldn't us interacting, I dunno, tear a rip in space time or something?"
Knife punches me lightly on the shoulder.
"Well, no hole in space time as far as I can see, happy?"
He chuckles, then points forwards.
"Also, you may want to watch where your flying."
I look ahead to see the entireity of the windscreen taken up by an ornimate plate glass window, through which I can agly make out the figures of Salt and Zombie.
"Oh shi-" This time, I do slam on the breaks, though it's to late to stop us colliding with the window with a mighty crash of shattering glass.
