The beast ignored her words, choosing to behave like Sophia hadn't just spoken to him.
"The place you are standing," he told her calmly, his voice low and steady, "is too far."
Sophia released an insufferable sigh.

"I just told you I'm not stepping closer," she told him. "We are going to have the conversation from where I'm standing."
The beast ignored her words once more.
"You know what?" Sophia said with a sigh. "It's obvious you are clearly not interested in telling me who you are until I apparently move closer to you. And I'm not going to do that. I'll remain here and I'll ask you questions, because it's also obvious you aren't going to give me the answers I want if I don't move closer to you."
One of the beast's eyes twitched.
