"You do?" I asked hopefully.
Marianna made a languid blink. "Voren, Voren, Voren… Such a short, boring name. Are you sure you don't want me to come up with more names for you? I think Xoroarimu would fit you very nicely."
What was she talking about? Being annoying must've been a special hidden ability of draining curses, whether or not their voice was pleasant. She must've been using magic to speak, anyway, which meant that she could sound whichever way she wanted. Just like Pest.
I scowled at her. "I like my name well enough. Tell me what you know about the poison-immune monster!"
What a twist!
