The dark figure turned to the girl as Corwin exited the room, the shadows still covering it's face, "Do you have anymore questions? We have a short while, and wasting it on idle chatter is meaningless."
The robes shifted fleetingly as the being looked at the girl for a second, it's hands slowly rising up to edges of the dark hood, "I sense fear in you..." it said, pulling back the cloth, "But you are not alone..."
As the head cover was cast back, the purple eye from before began to glimmer as the lustrous lights from above reflected off. Surprisingly, a female was the owner of the low husky voice. But within the relative enclose space of the room the voice sounded much lighter in places. Bangs laid place over the woman's slim, arched eyebrows. Her pale yellow hair, while shoulder length at the front, had clips holding a folds of the long locks behind her head. The one eye stared carelessly at the girl, the metal plating on the right side of her face covering a fourth of her soft features. What appeared to be once a fair lady, was now someone who was constantly stiff-lipped and cold.
"There are others... just like you, taken from the dead. Sometimes they come everyday..." The woman spoke, her voice lower than usual, "But other times, there are months before we find one that can carry on our task."
...
Corwin walked down the hallway, scratching his chin out of habit again, "So, you've made up your mind about the gun?" he muttered, his eyes glancing briefly back to the man.
He turned to the man with a timid grin, "Ah, I forgot to ask earlier, what's your name?"
The amount of times he's forgotten something so simple and obvious was just plain uncanny. Once, Corwin forgot to bring a crucial ingredient for a high-grade exorcism seal one time and delayed an entire operation for about 3 hours. Oh, the chastising he received that day was one he still remembers the terror of. While they felt awful at first, remembering back to those moments always brought a smile at how plain stupid he must've looked. He always tried his best though, even if people didn't believe so.
They were crossing the long hallway, passing by some rooms that had windows, but the darkness within them only exposed shadows and vague stilled shapes. The two were coming to the end, and Melissa with the robed figure, now hood removed, can now be seen.
