Fortunately, he moved, her eyes glued to his form as he did so. Teeth neared her leg and yet she did not move, dropping her head to look into the pit with him. It was all darkness and she did not realize that the object he had sought after had fallen prey to its depths. He neared her again, closer still, her bubble's diameter decreasing in size rather rapidly. His gaze caught once more and her ears shifted, turning to tune into him.

A step towards him was taken, driving down her instinct to throw her weight at him and instead attempting to steer him carefully, slowly backwards towards a tunnel on the opposing side.
