Especially since they had a desperate purpose that was unknown to everyone else. It seemed way to dangerous for his comfort. It made him even worse off that he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't go out and help them, he couldn't even contact them! The worry of Elektra adding onto his pile of stressers was seriously unhealthy.
"Fighting? I wonder why... maybe if we knew we might even know why she just got up and left school for this... this... whatever it is they're doing." Hopefully they weren't going at each other's nerves too often, Elektra and her mysterious brother, but if they were, it could only the make the situation go from bad to worse.
And then what Selina said next definitely got a reaction from him. "WHAT!?" he practically yelled, his hands now trembling. "No! She couldn't have been! How could they have been attacked!? Why would they have been attacked!? Where is she now?! Is she okay!? What if they kill her Selina!?" He wasn't asking these questions to Selina, but more himself. Christopher was now shaking all over, looking pale as a ghost. He thought he might vomit. Uh oh.
After muttering, "Oh my God," Christopher darted to the nearest restroom and promtly got sick into the toilet. It wasn't that he had a weak stomach, no. He'd lost so many people, he just didn't think he could handle another loved one gone. And clearly, his stomach proved he couldn't.
She shook her head vigorously when he inquired about what they were fighting about. Selina could put the pieces together from what she had heard about why Elektra was resentful about leaving Hogwarts, namely because she had lost the opportunity to act on her feelings toward Gideon, feelings Selina did not know about. However, why the girl had left? Well, that was something Selina did not know. She hoped it was not because of herself, but she could not be sure. Something in her gut told her that Elektra left for a plethora of reasons; Selina was not why she had fled. Maybe though, just maybe, she had been the reason why Elektra had stayed away.
There was so much going on in her head that she found she could only respond to Christopher's inquiry with a simple answer,
"I don't know why she left, honestly. I just wished she had not gone. Things would have been so different if she stayed," she and Gideon may have never have even started and maybe Christopher and Violet would still be together. It would never be known though.
Then Christopher freaked out. His freak out was an understatement. She wanted to calm him down but then he went and threw up... seriously? He had thrown up? Was he really that upset about this whole endeavour. She did not even know he and Elektra were that close. Selina herself was close to tears, in fact her eyes were wet, but throwing up. Christopher was a lot more fragile than she had anticipated.
Although she was still weak from her vision, she stood up and walked over to where Christopher was in his bathroom. She leaned against the door frame for support and said,
"Hey... you okay?"
