D539 (before the battle) | Voice

... ugh.

[Ellie sounds... out of it. Not herself. Distracted, like she's been hit a few too many times in the head, or is somehow drugged up. She's finding her way but she's slow, like she's having to think about every word before she says it.]

So. Question -- how many of you guys have been in two places at once?

I think I was back in my... my world. For a while.

But I was here, too.

Anybody?

I didn't do anything.

... listen, I'm just-

[Siiiiigh.]

Y'know. Sometimes, just saying stuff. And having somebody listen, and not tell you you're completely bonkers? It actually helps.

So- yeah.

Right, well--

I don't think you're bonkers.

So there.

... are you sure you don't think I'm bonkers?

[There. That sounds about 200% more like Ellie.]

[ Much better. Killua snorts, shaking his head even though she can't see it. ]

I'm not sure you're not deaf.

I'm not that old and grey yet.

Then you shoulda heard what I said the first time.

You're a really hard person to say "thank you" to, yanno that?

What do you want me to say?

'No problem,' or whatever?

Sure, that sounds good.

Or, y'know, you're welcome.

...okay.

You're welcome.

So- are you coming with us to bag Thiazi?

You bet. I've got a few bones to pick with her, if she was behind those hallucinations.

You and me both.

And a lot of other people, it seems like.

That was--

Yeah, no. No way I'm letting that sort of thing happen again.

... do you wanna tell me about it?

[It seems only right to offer, after what he just sat through with her.]

[ His voice sounds suddenly a little colder, more distant. ]

Not really.

That bad, huh?

[She doesn't sound the least bit insulted, just serious.]

...pretty bad, yeah.

[... and if Killua of all people qualifies it as 'bad'-]

Gotcha.

Let's make her regret it.

We will.
