66: Fateful Encounter?

“Would you believe me if I said that I was just trying to help? We robbed the safehouse together and faced a life and death situation together so won’t that make us comrades in arms? Cut me some slack here” Maria called bullshit at those words. The kid in front of her was a liar of the biggest degree.

When she refused to give any kind of positive indication, the teen let out a sigh of regret. He was not fooling Maria with his innocent act.

"Fine. I was just curious what the oracle was doing here and living. Not to mention, those ears on your head don't seem to be human. Can I touch them once?" Maria's knife moved like lightning and rested on the fragile throat of the teen.

He dared not even act surprised at the suddenness of the action. He only looked resigned at his fate and stepped back to let himself secure a sizable distance. He raised his hands in a mocking surrender and looked quite sheepish.
