[Aelwyn had been walking behind Meredith, a good thirty feet behind her in fact, for most of the way back to the dorms. She'd come from the Flophouse, seeking to escape her roommate for even a few hours and she'd tagged along with Meredith after passing her on the way back because, hey, two heads are better than one.
She turns out to be right when she watches the Kelpies crawl out from the dark and Aelwyn feels herself freeze up. That immediate panic is lessened when she realises they're going for Meredith instead. If she were a better person, she'd try to get their attention, or yell at Meredith to get away, but instead she feels all words die in her throat as they get closer to the other woman, seemingly ignoring her.
Instead, she reaches for her phone, and texts her.]
