Aye, this needs sporking. This exchange is going to give whatever Agent witnesses it a real headache.

“By the way my name is Eragon.” he told me as he took his seat.

“Hermione.” I said

“interesting name”

“I could say the same to you.”

“My parents got it from Shakespeare, how about you.”

Then there was a look in his eyes that seemed to be getting glossed over with hard thought. “I really don’t know, I never knew my parents.”

“How sad” I said trying to sound worried.

Now, either one of them says two sentences in a row, which doesn't seem to work, or a third person joins in unannounced. Trying to read it, it seems the speakers are Eragon-Hermione-Eragon-Hermione- waitaminute, Eragon comes from Shakespeare? Shakespeare doesn't exist in Alagaesia. Then after that it's Eragon speaking again.
