"Huh? What did you-" Elise spurted out, but that was all she said before she turned silent all of a sudden. She wanted to shout and curse at the girl for bringing something embarrassing like that up, but for some reason she couldn't say anything. It was a touchy subject to her in many ways. She only heard rumors about it but never any concrete facts, and when it happened the first time she thought she was seriously injured and about to die. And it didn't get easier after that either; it was a grim reminder to her that she could never be like her brother, and that she would be stuck with the wrong set of chromosomes for the rest of her life. She did accept that part of her eventually, having decided to prove herself to be strong despite being a girl, but nevertheless the topic brought painful memories back that left her stunned. "They are," she finally managed to say, but fortunately the other girl already moved on to the subject of Akame and that they should follow her. Since she knew the flaming senior, it was fine to trust her, and so Elise followed her, having also transformed back into her uncomfortable borrowed clothing. She was happy about getting the kill, though, and bragged about it to Izumi with a grin. "Did you see how I absolutely wrecked that Primy? Bastard never saw it coming, heh."
