Diane I'm glad Nanase's there with Elliot. She's one of the smartest people I know. Which begs the question...
Diane Why did she cast the spell while still out here?!
Charlotte Raises the question. And we don't know if my roommates are back.
Diane She could at least have gone back in the car. And "raises the question"?
Charlotte Begging the question refers to circular reasoning and assuming the conclusion of an argument.
Diane (off-panel as Nanase, Ellen and Ashley are shown) That doesn't at all sound what it should mean.
Charlotte (off-panel) Yes, but the original phrase has its origin in a mistranslation of the Latin phrase--
Ellen and Ashley look at each other.
Charlotte Wait, am I insisting you stick to a usage most people won't understand originating from mistranslated Latin?
Diane Yes.
Charlotte I apologize.
