She watches, entranced, as the creature swallows her companion whole- or, at least, begins to. Fascinating.... and yet, Salla wasn't surprised. After all, she realizes with a burst of clarity, it's exactly what she would do if she could. Somehow that spurred her to her feet; she climbed up off the wall, still selling her injury as being even more dire than it was, but... there. The man was rushing in. She could be second after him- see if he could actually put this creature down. Another few precious seconds to gain her breath, to will her wounds to stop affecting her mind. That was all she would need.
