Arokleth attempted to tune out Rose's terrified screams as she focused on the alligator. She decided that it would be best to keep herself as human as possible if she was going to calm Rose down, but that would make fighting difficult. She withdrew the tendrils into her sleeve, and wrapped her other arm around Rose as well, trying to comfort her once again. She swung one of her otherworldly wings down, trying to knock the alligator's arm away from the neko's foot, and tightened her grip on Rose as she felt the girl slipping down.
