"Bonsoir, monsieur Erwin, monsieur Mike, madame Hange. C'est un plaisir merveilleux de vous rencontrer."
The three polite Professors said their greetings. Petra just stood from a distance, silently observing the scene before her, unable to believe that a woman such as Nifa would grace them with a visit. Unless,...
Just at the right moment, Nifa turned to look at her, also giving Petra her warm, theatrical smile.
"And, who is this little girl?" Nifa said in her seductively low voice. "Your new maid?"
Awkward silence. Each and every occupant of the room turned to look at Petra with different reactions; Hange and Kuchel with wide eyes and shocked faces, Erwin with his unreadable expression, and Mike with his nose up in the air, expecting a much anticipated duel. Kenny, seemingly enraged, regarded Nifa with a cold and deadly stare that could drill into one's skull. Nifa just smiled, ignoring the negative reactions of the people, and waited for Petra's answer.
Levi, on the other hand, mentally choked Nifa to death. He cleared his throat. "Nifa, may I present to you Ms. Petra Ral, Concertmaster and Paris violin concours title holder."
Nifa's russet eyes grew wide with amusement.
Levi continued, "Petra, Ms. Nifa Valle."
Petra remained unmoved by the stylish woman's insulting and haughty look. All of them, including Nifa, herself, waited eagerly for Petra's comeback. It was in the form of her honest smile and her changed aura, which emanated both challenge and pity, but for whom? "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Valle." she said in a clear voice, which showed no weakness.
"And to you, too." Nifa answered with the same expression as Petra's in her face. She came forward, placed her gloved hands on Petra's shoulders and kissed her on both cheeks.
Both Erwin and Mike suddenly felt that the temperature in the living room just went up with so much tension. Hange and Kuchel looked at Petra with worried faces. Kenny's sight was darting from left to right, possibly looking for something blunt and hard to hit Nifa's head with. Levi desperately wished that Petra would not hate him for introducing his sharp - tongued guest. The room remained in awkward silence for a few more seconds, until something finally snapped them out of that suffocating tension. The door suddenly opened violently, and in came a female teenager wearing a hot pink jacket, and a gentleman clad in cleric robes. The teenager saw Levi and smiled broadly from ear to ear.
"Big brother!" she screamed happily and launched herself to Levi, hugging him tightly. "Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! Oh, man, I missed you so, so much!"
The gentleman, who had blonde hair and kind eyes, came forward and patted Levi's shoulder. "Hey, long time, no see, partner."
"Hey, Farlan. Isabel." Levi said to the two.
