[Once the battery is full again, she drains it, (despite the arguing, they're working together like clockwork) and with it another wave of anger. This time it's decidedly unnatural, something so visceral and physical she sways on her feet, nearly dizzy with it.]
[ Not that he's any less angry, or frustrated, but seeing this woman swaying on her feet is enough to distract Steak for the moment, and he frowns, stepping towards her. ]
This isn’t normal. I feel like I’m burning – [And it’s like that, belatedly, she catches a vision. A forest engulfed in flame. A memory, but one she’d never seen before. She gasps, vision clearing, and when it does she’s staring at the battery, the light dimmed now that she absorbed the magic.]
[Defensive, but there’s not a lot of bite too it, as she’s still a little bit dazed, blinking the unbidden memories out of her vision. Shaking her head again,]
I saw something – a vision? There was a fire. [Furrowing her brow,] And a forest? I’ve never seen this place before.
[ Hm. Alright. He takes the battery and concentrates, mind immediately sparking to one of the many times of Red Wine being irritating. It fits the mood, and Allura is transported - briefly, and not literally - to the midst of an arm wrestling match, deadlocked against a pale-skinned man with dark hair and a snooty general disposition which has been erased by a complete determination to win.
And maybe, just maybe, she'll notice the destruction of a strange, tentacled beast just behind the match. ]

There’s something wrong with your magic.

Right? ]
You did something wrong, didn't you?
[ It's irritable, accusing, despite the way his brows furrow and he watches her closely. ]

Was it in the Wilde?
[ This is too strange for Steak's tastes. ]

Date: 2020-02-24 11:23 pm (UTC)What is the Wilde? I’ve never visited this place before.
[With her mind more on straight, she holds up the battery,] You can’t say that this isn’t connected. It’s not only a coincidence.

But more to the point... ] What do you mean?
[ It's the battery's fault? ]
