Mae backed away when the other stepped closer, the look on his face was bone chilling, she looked down as he reached for her apron, she turned her hips so that he couldn't remove the book from her pocket just as he touched the old pages and flinched away. She was glad to know that the other could not take the book from her, and his reaction let her know some comfort that she had some protection against him. But his answer as to why he was going to her apron made her face turn bright and she glared at him, she had the urge to slap him but kept her hands protectively around the pocket watch as she held her breathe and listened to him talk, tightening her jaw as his voice made her tremble slightly.<br/><br/>"Wait!" Mae said in a voice that surprised herself as she stepped out of the safety of her corner and behind the other but if the other had to eat people's souls and he was hungry now, that meant that he would take people's lives and that was something she was trying to give back to this dying world. "I-I can't let you eat other people... People's spirits." She corrected herself, unsure as to what she had gotten herself into or what she had let loose in the world.
