An impasse. The beast hardly appeared content with the situation, but why would it have been? Though she knew not the words exchanged, the looks being cast around the group gave her a sufficient understanding of the situation. However Serah had chosen to translate her words, the monster found the request of assurance lacking. And by the looks of things, their short little companion had lost faith in the beast in turn. Very well. Since it seemed bloodshed was not to be avoided, Alexandria took the short pause in action to tuck away the rations once more. And as she was already crouched low, her stance was not unsettled by the sudden gale that had accompanied the macabre change in soundtrack, even if her insides reeled at its noise. It took a good few seconds to ensure that nothing was coming up her throat, during which she caught the strange creature diving into the foliage. Similarly, their druid friend had also been convinced of the fey orchestra's threat, and took after it, urging the rest of them to follow after. As being alone in the Wilderdeep was hardly the noble's idea of a good time, she decided to follow suit. Propping herself up to her feet with her staff, the cleric looked to the rest of her squad and said dryly: "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't." Still, considering the results of the last time something like this had occurred, Alexandria was still a bit skeptical of the looming threat. At the very least, keeping a good degree of awareness of the situation did not strike her as a bad idea compared to blindly following a wild beast.
