Arrow only snorted when Colere made the request for everyone else to beat it, having no intention of moving from the doorframe where she was leaning up against. She dragged Els here, she ought to see her own girlfriend and leader wake back up, and she didn't trust Cole at all. Didn't like him, didn't care for him. Leaving the feline anywhere near the Luminary without her presence made her skin crawl, the smugness he radiated caused nothing but irrational anger within her chest. Not that the agitation from constantly being overheated helped any. The Reaper watched carefully as Elsweyr returned to a state of consciousness, exhaling a breath she didn't realize she was holding despite the scowl not exactly escaping her face.
At least, not until the news broke that Elsweyr wasn't sick at all, she was pregnant.
Arrow blinked before immediately standing up, no longer leaning up against anything. Normally, she should feel happy about this, but in the middle of a drought that was killing any and all life that kept the group stable and healthy? It left a sense of doubt in her core that was unshakable, and a consistent prodding in the back of her skull that this was going to end badly. While she was indeed trying to convince herself that not everything bad was her fault, it wasn't exactly like Elsweyr was the next Virgin Mary, anything that befell her in these circumstances was Arrow's fault, and she would not be reassured otherwise. "I-" The cheetah opened her mouth to speak, looking between Cole and Els, fur prickling along her spine in concern. "How do you...who the fuck are you? N-No, y'know what what, yeah, get the fuck out!" Uncharacteristically upset, her voice nearly cracked as her tone was contained with nothing but malice, pure aggression, her words only following behind Colere as the guy had already turned to leave.
This wasn't happening, not now. Funny trick, God, gods, whatever was watching them. She had a vague memory of Tanglewood at the dawn of time, whispering about gods that watched the swamp. She figured they were long dead. Maybe not, maybe they weren't finished with her yet.
