I did exactly as I did before!

[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.

[battlebound]

A fire?

[ But the most recent fire wasn't in a forest. Maybe her mind's just conjuring up random things. ]

Was it in the Wilde?

[ This is too strange for Steak's tastes. ]

[quintessent]

[She shakes her head, although she’s not really denying it.]

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.

[battlebound]

The wilderness outside the city.

[ He slipped into that too easily, and the realisation is unnerving. He's become so used to this place now.

But more to the point... ] What do you mean?

[ It's the battery's fault? ]

[quintessent]

[Thrusting the battery out to him, she stares hard,]

Fill it again. But this time think of something - a memory, a song, anything.

[She's going to get to the bottom of this.]

[battlebound]

[ 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. ]
