[ Elena's mind is much more open than Misato's, the small amount of training Sam has given her not yet enough to do more than obscure what resides within. She is hidden beneath an ocean, each thought blurred and deafened by the feet of water above her head, but still visible for any who would look.
She's been trying to stay calm, to not let herself be even the slightest bit nervous about the approaching competition, and by some miracle it's actually been working to a moderate degree. So when Misato approaches, Elena's own focus moves to the other woman, answering the question quickly and easily without taking time to deeply analyze where it might be coming from or really mean. ]
(Climb back up. Why? What will you do?)
[ There's no other possible answer in her mind and she really can't see how there could be another answer. So why even bother to ask the question? ]
