"The name is Elisa. How do you do?"
Mark's eyes widened.
A Monster with a name stood in front of him.
Both Mark and Levi walked a bit closer.
Fighting while remaining on the narrow staircase could've posed a problem.
Elisa was, now, about 5 meters away from them.
"Well? Anything to say?" She asked.
The silence was killing her.
"Huh? Don't tell me you... No. There's no way, right? I'm sure I heard at least one of you talk..." Elisa whispered to herself.
Levi positioned himself in front of Mark.
"Who are you? What do you want?" He asked, and her face lit up.
"So you can talk! Ouf. Got me worried for a bit. Hahaha!"
Silence-
"I'm... Uh... Elisa, as I've said. And what I want is..."
The look in her eyes changed, and Mark's hands twitched.
His body's instinct was to extend his claws.
The wooden floor creaked behind Mark and Levi.
Something had entered.
