While she was fully prepared to snap at Savannah, her attention was caught by the effect it had on the monster as she saw it falling to the floor, even if it wasn't quite out yet. [color=palevioletred][i]Can't argue with results, I guess.[/i][/color] Of course, it hadn't escaped her notice that Aaron was quick to bail on them. She didn't have the time to watch where he went, though. She wasn't really in 'reasonable' mode right now, so it didn't even occur to her that he was too hurt to fight - but she had enough awareness to realise it was best she kept her distance once things were over, knowing she really didn't have the strength to avoid losing control at him. Either way, he hadn't made a good first impression. She looked towards the plate, which was beginning to get back up from the floor, flailing its ruined noodle around in front of it. Darting forward, she tapped the edge of the 'plate' for a brief second, before retreating slightly. Now that she wasn't trying to tear anything off, there really wasn't any reason to stay closer to the creature than she needed to. She glanced over her shoulder, wary of the other monsters surrounding them, before deciding to stay at a safe distance. While part of her wanted to suggest Savannah do the same, she wasn't sure exactly how the other girl's abilities would or wouldn't work - and besides, Zoe's mind was such a mess right now that she really didn't want to open her mouth. It was bad enough what she'd said to Aaron, and with Savannah being an 'X' like herself, it seemed a lot more likely she'd get angry, at least based on Zoe's own experience. She just didn't want to risk having the girl get herself hurt with a stupid decision. After all, she [i]was[/i] only a kid - if it came to it, Zoe would rather have herself be the one taking the hits. Curious to see if the plate counted as alive, she tried using her abilities on it - not focused, but affecting the whole thing as best as she could. If it was anything like a real plate, it'd be brittle enough that her ability would affect it pretty badly if it worked. If it did, it wouldn't take long for flaws to spread through the thing - given enough time, it'd probably snap on its own, but as it was it'd at least make it easier for someone else to break. Part of her was hoping that wouldn't take too long, because somehow she doubted this particular spaghetti monster would exactly be her biggest fan right about now.
