Elizabeth smiled as the man stumbled to find the right words that would hopefully save him from too much more embarrassment. It was a risk to continue to spend time with this hunter. However, she prefered the idea of going to his house rather than showing up at a convience store while bleeding. That would get too many people involved - and she didn't like the idea of people seeing her in such a weakened state.

"A quick stop would be just fine," she agreed to his offer. "Just as long as you aren't lying about there being any corpses hiding in your closet."

The future was too unpredictable. She shifted her right arm, doing her best to keep the marking out of his sight. The mark had never proven to be a problem growing up in a world where no one knew its meaning. But now, she was unsure what the hunter would do if he managed to see the mark of Chronos. He would probably kill her before sitting down to hear her side of the story.
