[Charlie doesn't really react much to the contact. Doesn't hold Nyota's hand in return. Her own hand is just there. She sighs, nose wrinkling and brow furrowing in frustration before nodding.]
Yeah. I pissed someone off. They're...unhealthily obsessed with a friend of mine. My friend is genuinely afraid of this thing named Karl. He doesn't like that I'm between him and my friend so he attacked me while I was on my way home from...
[Oh. Shit. She has to say it.]
...home from my honeymoon. I couldn't fight back. Not my way. He's invulnerable to what I can do and he's too fast for anything else.
I don't think the police will be able to do much. He doesn't have any sort of grasp with reality. [But then Charlie shrugs a bit.] I will try suggesting it when I get home.
[Except. Oh. Right.] This is going to sound stupid but the doctors suggested I get in contact with people and let them know where I am. I don't want to just yet. Merlin left. He went home and I don't think I can handle telling anyone yet.
I know, Nyota. They should know. But then I would have to tell them it happened while I was on my way home from my honeymoon and then I would have to tell people Merlin left. People would ask where he was and I would have to explain and I can't handle that right now. !I>[Charlie's voice is far from steady. It shakes and hitched s and breaks and as hard as she fights it, tears well up in her eyes and roll down her cheeks. Everything hurts and sympathy from her friends and family would make it worse.]
