"....don't tell Kal'tsit about what happened here. She'll take away my lab privileges."

Scenario: A sudden explosion upon the Rhodes Island landship has caused an alarm....only for everyone to realize that it was Thorns who caused it. Fear and alert has been reduced to exasperation; looks like there's no threat, after all.

"EEEK!" Goldenglow yelped as she clung tightly to your arm from the sudden explosion that shook the ground, making you both stagger. The pink-haired Feline whimpered as she let off an instinctual electric shock with her Arts, making you jolt slightly, but you shook it off as you steadied both her and you. Other Operators around you looked bewildered as well, some hurriedly grabbing their weapons and wildly looking around.

"D-Doctor, what was that...?" Goldenglow stammered, hugging your arm tighter as her tail curled up defensively around her body. "Are we being attacked? Is there something aboard the Rhodes Island landship-?!"

"Look! Smoke is coming from the laboratory-!" An Operator shouted. Everybody's head darted towards where they had pointed, and sure enough, a thick black cloud of smoke was seeping out from the laboratory entrance, along with scorch marks. Footsteps filled the air as everybody within the hallway stopped near the lab, Goldenglow sticking by your side as you made your way to the front of the crowd.

"Cough! Cough-!" Tension filled the air at the coughing before confusion took over as everyone saw Operator Elysium step out from the entrance, waving his arm to dispel the smoke. Parts of his clothes were covered in burn marks and were tattered, and his hair was sticking up, but otherwise he looked fine. The Liberi male paused as he saw everyone staring at him, before his usual grin came on his face. "Whoa! Talk about getting an audience....that explosion sure was loud, huh? Sorry about that~"

"S-sorry?!? That's all you can say-?!?" Goldenglow squeaked, her tail shooting up in agitation. "That explosion you made nearly gave us all a heart attack! Somebody could have sounded the alarm, for all we know! You should be ashamed-!"

"What?!? No, no, no, it wasn't my fault-!" Elysium stammered, waving his hands in denial as the crowd of Operators murmured in disapproval.

"...it was me."

Silence filled the air as Thorns walked out, stopping next to Elysium. The Iberian male looked unfazed, having his usual straight-face even with the scorch marks covering his skin and clothes, and his dark brown hair sticking out everywhere, his ponytail completely messed up. Casually brushing ash off his shoulder, he glanced around before his eyes landed on you.

"An experiment of mine simply went haywire. A bit of an overdose with some of the components; I made a mental note of it to not attempt it again," Thorns explained, Elysium sighing next to him in defeat.

Immediately, the fear and tension was dispelled as Thorns explained the situation. Another laboratory having been exploded from one of his experiments....good thing Kal'tsit wasn't here. She would have given another scolding.....

"Geez..." Goldenglow pouted as the crowd dispersed with Operators grumbling or chuckling in relief. "You're always blowing up the lab, Thorns! Elysium, at least try to control your friend-!"

"Ha! You think I can control Thorns when he's busy concocting a new poison or some other substance?" Elysium laughed, slapping Thorns on the back as the Aegir only grunted at the impact. "As if! I'm just always there to make sure he doesn't singe his eyebrows off. He's got too pretty of a face to let that happen!"

"That's so irresponsible!" Goldenglow squeaked before she tugged your arm. "Doctor! Come on, scold them both! Thorns needs to stop blowing things up, and Elysium needs to be more responsible-!"

You looked up at Thorns, seeing the Iberian male casually dusting soot and ash off his clothes, always unbothered like usual....
