[It would surely be a mercy, even, to be blind and not need to see what sort of monstrous and ridiculous appearance his body seemed to be taking on... She glowers on even through his confused reaction, his eventual acquiescence... but she doesn't actually move until he's on the other side of the cavern and she's positive that if she spoke quietly she wouldn't be overheard, equally positive that he wasn't looking.]
