On one of the top floors of the dungeon, Maka just experienced a close call with death, when she was cornered by a minotaur that was leagues above her in terms of strengh.
Maka was exausted, as the minotaur have been chasing her for a wile and Maka failed to shake it off. The only reason why the girl was still breathing now, was because someone had come to her rescue and killed the minotaur from behind.
???:" Are you ok?"
Maka droped to her knees, exaustion taking its toll.
Maka: "*pant* What *pant* was a minotaur *pant* doing up here!? *pant* i thought they only started to spawn on floor 15 or something, no? *pant*"
Maka's savior was a golden haired and golden eyed girl, she was wearing a light suit of armor and held a bloodied sword on her hand.
At Maka's words, a look of guilt doned her savior's face.
???:" My familia was doing an expedition to the lower floors, and some monsters sliped past us to the top floors. This minotaur was the last one of the runaways. No one died thankfully."
A tick mark apeared on Maka's forehead. Feelings of gratitude for her savior forgoten.
Maka: "Well, be more carefull from now on! This type of mistake usualy cost innocent lifes! Your expedition may have signed up to fight stronger monsters, but not us here in the top floors!..."
The golden eyed girl stood there, taking the scolding from the pearson she just saved.
After what felt like hours to the golden haired girl, Maka finaly fineshed venting.
Maka: "*sigh* Ok, I thing I got that out of my sistem. Thank you for saving my life, even if you are partialy to blame for me beeing in danger in the first place. My name is Maka, Maka Allbarn. What is yous?"
Maka extends her hand for a handshake while intruducing herself.
The golden eyed girl stops for a moment, before returning the handshake.
???: "Ais. Nice to meet you."
Ais takes a better look at the girl she saved. She was a girl her same age. She had blonde hair with twintaills, green eyes and carried a massive scythe, not a comon choice at all for a weapon. Her clothes wore interesting to say the least, a white blouse that was covered by a long-tailed and formal looking black trench-coat and a green necktie, the coat's cloack-like tail split in two right where the girl's red miniskirt ended, white sneakers with black buckles and a cartoonish skull pin on the coat finished the atire.
Ais: " Your attire has zero defensive capabilities. Why are you using it to dungeon dive?"
Maka just shruged.
Maka:" I am not sure why, but this attire just feels right for me."
Ais nodded, even if she did not understood.
Ais:" Me and my friends are going to the hostess for a meal to celebrate the end of the expedition. Do you wanna come?"
Maka:" Sure! they wore part of your expedition, right? I need to scold them as well."
Ais:" Not what I ment, but fair enought, we deserve it."
