"I will use another word, then. Unhealthy." Timcanpy said, her tone monotone as usual.
“….” Charlotte thought for a moment.
Elis was pacing around the room, continuously scratching at her tattoo. With each step she took, purple electricity charred the floor beneath her and burned through her boots. "It's gonna go wrong... It's gonna go wrong... It's all gonna go ******* wrong...!" She whispered to herself.
Charlotte gently knocked on the door to Elis room.
"Charlotte... Charlotte? Charlotte!? O-O-O-O-Oh! Yeah yeah yeah! Of course you can come in! Stay like, 2 meters away at all times though...!" Elis said, purple electricity continuing to crackle around her, her barriers making it so that she didn't burn her own skin or clothes.
"...Two meters...?" Charlotte thought. Gently she opened the door, staring for a moment as she saw the electricity covering Elis.
"Based on the sound of the wind, the speed of the vehicle, and the rotational energy of this planet... I'd say we got about 15 minutes until we reach our destination! Hahaha...! Y-Yeah, I have a minute..." Elis said, just going back to scratching her tattoo and pacing around.
Charlotte nodded, breathing out.
"...Worried?" Elis said, "Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Why would I be worried...!? You guys said you'd be fine, right...! Phares will totally be fine... Though I haven't really seen his expertise in an extended mission... They've always been interrupted... Is he good enough...? Are you good enough...!? N-No, I'm worrying for nothing, your all strong... Older than me to...! Lots more experience...!" She was swiftly trailing off and clearly so.
"You know what to expect!? Oh, I didn't know your Spatial Awareness was so advanced to the point you could figure out the geometry of ******* TIME!! Oh, except, time doesn't have geometry, it's time, or well, it might have geometry... I should right a thesis paper on that..." Elis trailed off once more, her scratching beginning to break the skin as blood poured from her face and to the charred floor beneath her.
Charlotte's eyes widened slightly. She tried to reach forward to stop Elis from hurting herself, but stopped as she felt the electricity nearly graze her skin. She pulled away, taking a shaky breath.
"B-.... But..." Elis murmured, stuttering.
Charlotte gently took a step closer, feeling the electricity beginning to graze her clothing and skin. red marks and blistes appeared where the electricity had touched her, but she ignored it, her focus completely on the girl in front of her.
"Strong?" Elis said, her tears being vaporized as soon as they fell.
Charlotte's breath caught in her throat, the name of her homeworld ringing in her skull like she had been struck with a hammer. Her body trembled slightly, and she took another breath before continuing.
Charlotte froze, staring at Elis for a few moments.
"Sure I can! If it wasn't for this stupid tattoo you probably would've been fine, right!? Everything is ****** because of me! I should just rip out my eye right now...!" Elis exclaimed, manifesting a combat knife in hand.
"Y-you think I'm gonna let you mutilate yourself like this? After what you've done? After what we've been through?" Charlotte asked. Her voice was wavering, the sickening smell of burnt flesh beginning to move through the room. She attempted to bend Elis's wrist, trying to force the knife out of her hand. Though her arm was already scorched to the point where Elis could likely resist if she actively tried.
