Eyes open and lips slightly parted. The image of the Ixal in the distance didn't get much of a visible reaction from Clover. Everything happened inside, as if the world had come to a halt and time had stopped. But time hadn't, and neither did the beasts. Her paralysis only lasted until a friendly hand grabbed her, effectively pulling her out of sight. Another hand covered to her voiceless mouth right after, as if there had been any sound there.
In such an unfamiliar proximity, Clover had become a pair of unblinking eyes, windows that hid a hurricane of thoughts behind. She couldn't see the scene from her position, but she could see him. The look in his face was one she'd seen before.
Ah, her heart was beating fast; she noticed.
Andre voiced his suggestion then. They should simply hide there and let the Ixal have their way with the rest of the travellers. What would happen then? Death? Torture? Clover lacked mental images for that kind of situation, but she'd seen blood before. The mere sight had felt completely wrong, just like the look in Andre's eyes as he took another glance at the scene and gasped. Wrong. Wrong.
"Andre..." she whispered his name now that his grip on her mouth had loosened. Her wide open eyes lingered on his, on everything she was seeing there. She was scared, that was a noticeable fact, but she still managed to remain composed.
"If we cannot fight them on our own, we should try to run to Gridania and inform the Twin Adder about this."
