[She can't believe she's feeling guilty for ableism. She can't believe it. After everything, this is what she's going down for, letting a disabled woman be chased by Kelpies and eaten or... worse is probably some kind of low. Not for her, but for anyone else who hasn't sunken entire ships full of people or allowed their little sister to go through a lifetime of abuse. And it's not anyone condemning her, it's her fucking concience. That thing she tried to smother when she was a child. All she can do is run.

Or she could help. Throw a rock at them. Make a loud noise. Throw fire at them. Tie one up and torture it until it screams.

She settles for a middle ground, and attempts to throw a knife at one of the kelpies, missing any vital organs by a long shot but still getting one of them to turn their attention toward her as it hisses in pain and hunger at the now unarmed elf. She's one heel away from running away, looking panicked as all hell.]


I-I.... what do I do...?

I'll get help?!

[She could kill these creatures, but what if Meredith sells her out to the ADI for using spells, or worse, giving into this urge to sink her metaphorical teeth into these very real monsters and suck the fear from their bones. Adaine would sell her out, her parents would, maybe even Penelope would, and those are all the meaningful connections she's ever really had in her life. Why should she risk it for this near stranger???]
