The girl seemed to relieved that the other young man knew what she was getting at. She wasn't a bad person, nor was he, what she didn't expect though was the lack of slowing of the Lotus King in answer to the globs of fluid she fired at him. What she found instead was the creation of multiple clones to face against the fluid for the multiple paths that could be taken. "Sugoi~ You're really fast." she stated as she continued, changing the pressure at which she fired this fluid to make it splatter more and thus have a greater chance of influence. "You aren't making this easy for me. I'm glad~" she mentioned, but at that she began to skid there after, against a wall, this friction combined with the near constant emission of the incendiary fluid would cause a near maelstrom of fire to be created by her own movements which spiraled around the tunnel aiming to cause rapid de-oxygenation, which would result in nausea, vomiting, hallucinations and low grade carbon monoxide poisoning for the young lad if he didn't manage to pull out ahead of it. Beyond this, it would slow the progress of Chiyo and Tomoko the former of whom would stop the other one from moving forward as the fire became too great.
"Fuck, we're gonna have to hang back a bit. I don't want to end up carrying you." she mentioned which made Tomoko scoff. "Bratty and brash. This is what you are." she said chiding the young woman whose eyes flickered over her as she thought of her response. "Calls me a brat, acts like her first action upon seeing me out of the Tower for the first time, wasn't immediately to walk into a bathroom and give herself the worst haircut I'd ever seen, simply because I also had pigtails." Chiyo chimed. This caused Tomoko's eyes to widen. She didn't think that action made such a lasting impact on the Storm Queen, in fact the girl hadn't mentioned it so she figured it was completely glossed over. "Eh, gomen. It wasn't like that... I just... I'd recently run into Mikasa, she had pigtails, then I saw you had them too... I didn't wanna fall in line with everyone else. And to be fair, I wanted a hair cut anyways. Probably shouldn't have given myself one in the bathroom though. I was just frustrated and it made me feel better at the time." she mentioned. Her eyes closing as she thought to her behavior a couple of years prior to this one. She'd calmed down more than enough to realize that she had acted rashly, and after that moment had never committed a rash action again. While Chiyo rolled her wheels and created an ice barrier between them and the flames she said something more. "Fuck! Don't apologize to me for being yourself, save that shit for when you'll need it." she said. Soon after a devious grin crossed the girl's face as she went on to say something which would seem completely out of the blue. "While we're on the subject, you haven't gone full Mikasa about Kanda right? 'Cause, that'd be a fuckin' pain in the ass, and you obviously don't want to join this team to hang out with me, just like you didn't join Vongola to hang out with Mukuro." This sentence made the green haired girl's eyes widen and would cause the girl to immediately swing on Chiyo, surprisingly enough the Storm Queen would dodge this action and giggle just a bit. In missing Tomoko would realize what she did and put her hand back at her side. "Sorry, really... I just... don't compare me to Mikasa okay? It isn't like that..." she said which only made Chiyo giggle. "Fuck! I was just fuckin' with ya'! To be fair that hit would have sprained your wrist if it'd connected plus... I needed to see if I'd calibrated my eyes enough to be able to react properly. I got at least the basic movements back. Arigatou gozaimasu~" the small girl mentioned as she waited for the safety to approach the going race, which she could still see from where she stood. "Kanda is ahead in case you're wondering." the green haired young woman smiled. Chiyo was indeed still a brat, but she could see herself having fun on a team lead by the small girl. And if it allowed her to be close to Kanda in the process then it made it all worth it.
