Reading its mind is the logical thing. It’s even the environmentally friendly thing! So why does it feel like the scummiest thing?
But she nods to her teacher. “Okie doki- hueehhhh, ecchhh,” she begins to heave.
The most intense struggle to occur in this entire fight starts up as Peppa has to fight back down the largest meal she’s had in days.
Wide-eyed, Chuu Lee looks between her student and the dinosaur below. She squints for a bit, then comes to a decision. She places a hand on Peppa, then fingers on her own forehead,
https://youtu.be/iy_1toqhcn8The two of them float through that subspace for an instant or a lifetime, where nothing matters as solid, liquid, gas or plasma; the only states of relevance being “is” and “isn’t.”
Chuu Lee is scoping out a landmark to get back to, is locking onto Cookie’s aura, and is suddenly taken aback by the status of her student.
Peppa isn’t all there at the moment. Her teacher’s hand phases through her shoulder that isn’t, the food is expelled from an upset stomach that isn’t, heck even her clothes can’t clothe a body that isn’t.
Chuu Lee is reaching out to get ahold of Peppa, but it has an effect similar to swirling oil across water. Chuu Lee is panicking.
Now, Peppa has successfully used Instant Transmission many times before, and has gone through this warp with passengers in tow even. However, for those uninitiated passengers they may as well be statues, dull to the experience. Unfortunately, Peppa is keen to all her experiences here, outward… and inward.
So the short of it is that as unbalanced and spiraling as she is, she simply isn’t able to get ahold of herself.
Chuu Lee is a bit better at maintaining that balance, and is going over all the know-how she’s accumulated for something to help with this. Lessee, all are one, nothing is permanent, discord yet harmony- oh hey what’s that?
The teacher plucks <span class="mu-r">something of her student's</span> that is still there.
Peppa snaps back into a being that is! Wincing in pain from her hair being tugged, but she is. She brings her hands up to Chuu Lee’s own, and boundaries are put back in place.
A wave of relief washes over Chuu Lee’s own spirit, and she lets go of <span class="mu-r">her student’s coveted token.</span> No need to hold on to her with the two of them back on sweet terra firma.
With her body still running the course of that prior bout of nausea, Peppa topples onto the ground, and throws up some stomach acid with traces of her lost meal’s flavor. She feels a hand on her ponytail once more, this time holding it up and away, and another rubbing soothing circles along her back.
Once she’s recovered her breath, teacher and student begin, ““I’m sorry, that’s never happened before- ack, could have phrased that better- wait what did you say- ummm…”” They squint at each other in befuddlement.
…despite it all, the two of them break out into snickering.
Chuu Lee ponders, “Heehee, wager that’s from our spirits syncing up just then?”
