The train had been ten minutes from pulling out of the station before a final person hurried on, her hair wild and tangled from the wind and rain outside. She bustled awkwardly to her seat, struggling to carry her large bag.
Roderich noticed that every other seat in the compartment was taken, except for the one next to his. For a moment, he felt sick to his stomach. No doubt the woman would be incredibly annoying. Not only had she almost delayed the train's departure, but she had hit multiple people with her bag as she walked to her seat.
When she finally sat down and shoved her bag under the seat she had slumped down and let out a loud sigh.
Roderich scoffed. "Annoying."
"Excuse me?" The woman asked, immediately sitting up.
"I called you annoying." Roderich answered, scooting away from her the best he could.
"I noticed." She said, looking him up and down. "I think you should apologize. It was uncalled for."
"I think you should apologize for almost delaying the train and making a show of your arrival."
"I didn't almost delay the train. It would have left without me. And secondly, I can't control how heavy my bag is. Corpses are heavy, dude."
"W-What?!" Roderich gasped, slapping a hand over his mouth.
The woman smiled, letting out a giggle. "I'm just messing with ya. Its art supplies. I didn't realize how heavy they'd be. Just wanted to make one trip. Anyway, I'm Elizaveta. Nice to meet ya."
Roderich swallowed, holding back the urge to call Ludwig. "I'm Roderich. And you're still annoying."
"Yeah, well, guess that can't be helped."
