[Elizabeth pulls back when Gai does, eyes widening slightly. That's never happened before... and he won't even look at her. He looks angry.]
[It doesn't cross her mind that he's upset with himself. It seems more likely to Elizabeth that he's angry she materialized half a dozen harpoons on the bottom of the ocean just for a little pull. This was all her fault...]
[She twists her hands in the fabric of her skirt and tries to calm down so she can force the tear away. But now she's upset because Gai won't look at her, won't let her even touch him. What had she been thinking? It was obviously only a matter of time before she materialized something strange or dangerous, and Gai would be well within his rights to revise his feelings on tears.]
...Please Gai... just look at me this once. I can make it disappear, I can control it better-- [What a lie that was.] --I was just surprised, I'm sorry.
