For a while the Doctor stared at her with those huge eyes. Still she thought she would never get used to it. She barely caught his tiny grimace. As if it never existed, he became exited.
" But I already know my species. We have yet to discover yours."
She sighed. From experience with Glinda she had a sense he was lying to himself. But she decided let it go. He had brought up a good topic "Do you think it might explain things?" She looked down at herself at those words.
"Maybe" He said with a hard look. "But do you really want an explanation?"
She thought about it for a minute. He was right, often people thought they wanted something but were wrong. Humans assume always something good would happen. The more they didn't know or denied, the more they assumed. She was extremely skeptical. For all she knew the knowledge of her species could haunt her. Answering truthfully, she said, " I don't know. I won't for certain until it is too late ".
" We can't ever assume anything is certain except for ourselves. Half an hour ago I thought I killed all the krillitanes. I felt guilty of it. But I was even more ashamed that a tiny part of me felt happy about the genocide." He turned stiff as ice.
She wondered if another meaning hid under his words. The tone he had said it in sounded distant. "Are you okay?" she said, trying to look into his eyes.
"Yeah. I am" He smiled at her.
It stayed near silent for the next few minutes. She breathed in. Surprisingly, her nose was becoming used to the smell. Emmett's uneven steps sounded like the chink of coins in a pouch. She analyzed him. What did he think about her conversation with The Doctor? Did
He simply not care, Or did he decide to remain silent? The Doctor stopped in his tracks. He mouthed the word quiet and pointed to a krillitane guard standing around a corner. She surveyed the jailer as much as she could from her angle. A rifle was clasped in his claws. His slanted eyes surveyed the hall.
"Let's go in case there are more", The Doctor said.
Out of the stillness he held, he bolted into the krillitane' s sight. Elphaba jerked back before she could be seen too .Did he know what he was doing? Elphaba groaned. The krillitane' s eyes narrowed halfway. They focused on him like bullets. Before she knew what she was doing, she sprinted after The Doctor. The jaws of the krillitane separated to release a screech. It sounded gravely and high-pitched. The Doctor pointed the sonic screwdriver at the krillitane's gun. Her feet slapped against the stone floor.
"Stupid rifle, too old to disable" he said. He resorted to punching the krillitane in the face. It staggered back, covering the bruise with his razor sharp claws. She skidded to a stop on the krillitane's flank. He backed up to keep his eyes focused on her and The Doctor at all times.
