The leaves above her head cast a dark shadow that she hadn't noticed, obscuring the purple cords of Void spiderwebs. When her gaze lifted to see the spiders lying in wait, she winced. She'd certainly come close to walking head-first into them. Some hallucinations and tiny nips probably would have been a great learning lesson to look up when she was walking through an unknown forest (or anywhere for that matter).
Giving Thalassa a sheepish smile, she let out a nervous laugh. "Thanks. That could have been bad." Elizabeth rummaged in her bag until she had the leather pouch in hand. It was thick enough to keep the creatures contained until she could reach Halo, but there was the question of how to get them in there. Lightning might not be the best idea, it'd probably just fry them to a crisp, but maybe her telekinesis would work.
She leaned her head back to avoid getting her face too close to the Voidweavers, biting her lip in concentration as she slowly lifted the pouch so that the opening lay just beneath the spiderwebs. It was a small opening, but if she maneuvered it just right...
With a quick slice and funneling of her magic, Elizabeth managed to sever the spiderweb and direct the falling arachnids into the pouch. For a second, she just held her breath, certain she must have missed one. When they started wriggling in the bag, it was a sign that she should probably close the top, making her jerk instinctually to sinch the leather. It wasn't until it was properly sealed that she let out a long sigh of relief.
Holding the bag away from her, she gave Thalassa a proud smile. "Well that wasn't too bad. Thanks for the help."
