Pain seared through her face. No, her ear. Gone. It had to be. Nothing by cold air now filled the space where she attempted to move it. Terror and agony fill her as she holds back a scream. Blood spills down the side of her face as her sister rushes forward. Though she trembles, she stands. Looking up at Estie, she smiles softly. "Estie," her voice is quiet as she meets her sister's gaze. If only for a brief moment. In the next, Estie is gone, running at the worm. So many others are also running at the worm. Was that Kenway injured over there? So many hurt and for why?

Sorrow fills Gem as she looks to the enraged worm. What if... it didn't want to be treated like a monster? Turning to look at Gypsy, she places a paw upon the woman's shoulder. "Stay here where it's safe," she whispers softly before turning toward the worm.

"Everyone, please! Stop attacking it!" Gem attempts to shout but her voice is not bold enough for that. Oh well, she would still try. Approaching slowly, she keeps herself low and in stance of submission. Her tail folded between her legs, her one good ear folded sideways, tongue licking out at her lips to ease the tension. As she grows closer, she turns her chin upward to peer at the worm. It is clear by the hiss that emanates from it that it is furious.

"Hello!" Gem calls out to the worm, her voice tender and kind. "I'm not sure if you can understand me," gods she hoped it did. "We don't want to hurt you," she continues even if its not true. "We're just scared! You're big and honestly terrifying to look at compared to what we normally see. I'm sorry if that's rude," her face cringes as she realizes how rude that must sound, but she carries on. "Do you need help? Have we disturbed you? Is that why you are so angry? Please, if you can talk, we can help," Gem pleads, tears creasing her eyes as she stares up at the hideous monstrosity. She doesn't know if its about to reach down and eat her whole, she doesn't care if it does. At least she'll die knowing she tried.
