Alys was shepherding partygoers to Haulani when it happened: an ungodly shriek that grated on her nerves, shattering her concentration and rendering those she'd been hiding visible once more. She whirled towards the noise to find Vox aiming curses at Koa and Sohalia and a younger man Alys didn't recognize. She was about to turn back towards those fleeing -
But then it happened.
She heard her partner's name on the eldritch horror's lips (?).
Before she realized what she was doing, she was sprinting across the sand towards Talyson, a wordless shriek of panic clawing its way out of her chest. She didn't know what she was trying to do, exactly, but she knew that she had to do something. She couldn't watch him fall, watch him die -
But somehow, Vox seemed to plan something that might have been just as bad. He reached out to wrap Tal up in eldritch arms, and Alys was too far away. There was nothing she could do except watch in horror as her beloved was swept up into a hug. "No, no, no, no, no -!"
Inside the dome now, she no longer had access to her magic, and all she had on her person was a pair of daggers. She could throw one, but she risked hitting Tal instead of Vox, and she couldn't get too close without risking the same fate.
And if she was infected, who would save Tal?
Tears streamed down her face as she forced herself to slow, to stop, to back up a step. She choked on a sob, then spun on her heel and ran. If he was infected, he'd be relatively safe - for now. And if he wasn't? He wouldn't thank her for getting herself into the same trouble he was in.
Not when she wasn't strong enough to help.
Not yet.

Alys starts to run towards Tal, entering the dome. When Vox hugs him, she turns and flees. Alys out!
