Instead, whatever possessed Raine tried to claw their way out from underneath Eda, too determined to escape to realise her claw had snagged on the back of the crown and it snapped enough for them to gain some control back.
They reached for the rest of the vines, fingers wrapped tightly around it despite the thorns and they pulled hard.
The rest of their senses returned as it tore away, and Raine gagged violently as the overwhelming metallic smell, and the taste, assaulted their nose and their tastebuds. They tried to cover their mouth with their hand but quickly moved it when it too was caked with blood.
The sheer amount of it made their head swim. It's not that Raine was unfamiliar with the sight of blood- sometimes, with magic, accidents happen. But nothing ever like this- and certainly not ever from Eda's limb separating abilities.
Raine tried to fight past the way their head spun and vision swam with hot tears. They gasped through it, and pushed themself up enough to sit up on their side.
"Eda?" They shakily choked. "Eda- I'm sorry- your arm."
Cw: vomit mention, blood
