Hanaryō's head spins. Her ribs and chest ache, stomach churning. Exhaustion coming in waves, washing over her system. Going dark around the edges as she fights to keep her breath, though she stumbles. A sinister chuckle from her savior, enough to send Ryo's hackles even farther up her spine. Red eyes wide, trying to get a pulse here. Get a beat. Figure out exactly what his game was here, but... fuck. As difficult a time as she had trusting him, it's the best she has right now. The scent of blood heavy in the air, mixing with the murk and the seawater and the screams. Ryo remains tense, tightly strung, leaning into the otherwise terrifying situation with a snarl. Barely concealing a whimper, allowing a grimace to pull her face as she stands on her toes to examine the bastard's face. With a great, crushing bear paw on its windpipe, her assailant struggles to draw breath, let alone speak. Head spinning from the pain, Ryo stumbles backwards. Let him be dealt with, and try to keep the panic at bay until then. It's all getting more difficult by the minute. |
