Elaine tried her hardest to quiet herself as the kitsune spoke to her, though restraint wasn't her best aspect, and most of the time her heaves and sobs came out b themselves, always louder than she wanted. "I-I-I..." She stopped to suck in more air and rub her eyes, for once she was trying hard to not look into Feress' eyes, she couldn't handle all that direct emotion right now, she was having to much of her own. "I-I don't want to s-stop" her words kept repeating everything she instinctively drew in more air. She was feeling a mix of emotions right now, fear was an obvious one, but things like embarrassment found her as well. She wanted so much to work and be looked at as an equal in this group, and she had already broken down in the first encounter. She felt sad for the demon who just died, even though her git also told her he was a bad person, one who could do less in his...current state. "I..." her sobs were becoming slightly less quiet, she was regaining some control now. "I think I want to stay..." she wasn't sure, and she wasn't trying to hide that either, she knew she had limits, and she knew she could hinder them if she was like this the whole time, but she knew she wanted to try, to try and be useful, to get what she set out for. She sobbed a few more times and tried wiping the big tears from her face, her cheeks were red and her face was starting so slightly show signs of colour again. She was trying hard to stop crying, fighting against the crushing feeling to continue. She saw an outstretched hand near her, and looked to the owners face. She heaved once more and swallowed back some bravery, halting all crying for a moment, she was cooling down. She allowed her hand to rise and fall gently into the offered hand, "I'm s-sorry..." she muttered under some more little gasps. She hated being a problem. 

Dusk nodded at the girl, she was being foolish. These people shouldn't keep catering to her, she was a liability and he didn't want her or them to get hurt because of it, they would all be better off if she was taken back...But he couldn't say that, people did have to make their own choices, even at a young age. He gave up thinking on the matter and looked out to the carnage once more, that other demon hadn't come back yet...He wondered what she was doing, despite all that was happening because of it, she was impressive, and he hoped they didn't lose her already, they might need her for help later. Things would probably get a lot worse before they got better...
