Kitara let the tentacles wrap around her...she was beginning to realise why Jessica had sacrificed herself to save her when the laboratory had gone up in flames.  Jessica probably didn't want to die, but she valued Kitara's existence over her own.  In the same way Kitara had placed a value on Xylath that she regarded as precious.  She lay there in Xylath's grasp hanging upside down.  The look Matthias was giving her as his grip tightened around her wrist was an uncomfortable one.  She let out a cry of pain as the man squeezed her and asked his question.  Kitara shook her head, her eyes watering slightly as she remembered what she'd seen.<br/>"No...she got eaten by a lion woman."  Kitara spoke, trembling as a few tears dripped from her face onto Matthias...it would be fully clear from this sentence that Kitara wasn't officially with the maneater's, but that actions directed at her could affect how the giant creation of Xylath responded...especially since all of Xylath's attention was currently directed to the protection of Kitara from Matthias.
