The scene falls apart so quickly, right in front of her eyes, just as she arrives. Aurum's order to attack, to get them off their land shatters the air and she tenses, heart beginning to throb away in her chest. She has never seen a fight between creatures like this, hell, she hasn't really even seen combat as a human, despite her position on the battlefield. All she had ever seen was the aftermath, blood and crippling injuries, shattered bones and muscle, bodies pumped full of lead.
Memories of such gore makes her tremble, a struggle to decipher between what was happening now and what had already happened. The sudden headache that strikes her doesn't help, either, teeth squeaking as they grind over one another.
The sudden creation of fire--from the lion's mouth, no less--would have sent her into a frenzy, excitement at the sight engulfing her, but all she felt now was fear. She didn't want to know how he had managed to do that, she just wanted it all to stop. Naive, maybe, she hopes they heed Suvi's words.
But of course, they don't. It makes Adelaide angry for a split moment, a heat in the middle of her chest, but she's distracted from that negative feeling when the ground shakes, moving underneath her paws. She nearly loses her balance, but manages to stay upright. She doesn't know that it was the jaguar causing this commotion under their feet, all she knows is that it's so loud, so chaotic, and she wants to get away.
Suddenly, it all stops. She hadn't even heard the stranger's parting words, voice full of malicious intent, but she isn't sure she would have wanted to hear, anyway. She breathes a sigh of relief. Still, there was this large cicada creature to deal with, a pang of sympathy running through her at the creature. It didn't seem to understand, not like they did. Was it not capable?
Either way, it was over and dealt with. If Miller had been successful in his attempt to throw Leroy off the creature, she would consider walking away, only wanting to put distance between herself and this odd scene, but she ends up staying out of fear that someone might have been hurt in the fight (scuffle? She wasn't sure what to call what had just happened). Considering the fall, she wouldn't be surprised if the cheetah had suffered after his little rescue of the canine. She had no idea he was their leader, since she had yet to meet him.
