( This 'mission' of a sort hits much closer to home than any might know. Not so long ago as all that, she had engaged in the effort to save an innocent creature who would have done harm to othersβbecause she had been engineered for that very purpose. This behemoth sounds as though it is not a creature to be feared outright, and she would like to save it if she can.
It had not worked out so well for the jabberwhelp. The cage is awkward against her back, but she complains not at all, eyes alight as well as alert on their surroundings. From time to time, though, her gaze turns to her silent companion. She has not seen him before, in Faerie nor at home.
Her curiosity about him matches that she feels regarding the environment in which they find themselves, thus off and on, she will offer him small little smiles, about as much as she can manage when the task at hand is so serious.
When his arm suddenly grasps her, she goes very still, nearly stumbling in her bid to see just what has startled him so. Ah. A shiver goes uh her spine, as she stares down in equal parts wonder and disgust. )
It looks like a brightly-coloured worm. We can travel around them, surely.
