Cecilia gave a sigh of relief, her eyes closing before opening to better appreciate the tender moment between the two siblings. She never had a brother or sister growing up, so she was a little less quick to excuse herself. She nodded appreciatively to Helena, believing her own inside voice wasn't what it could be at the moment and didn't want to disturb the mysterious brother and sister. Cecilia was still concerned. What could have happened to Spirit to have provoked a reaction like this for simply not having her brother there. This just wasn't a thing that came naturally... Was it? Not thinking it appropriate to inquire about the matter at the moment, Cecilia deemed the matter closed, and after giving Helena a final contented look, she turned to immediately hear James shouting at Neric, the upsetting pleas accompanied by an ever growing, foreboding gloom just outside.

From the porch, Cecilia gasped as she jerked her head over her shoulder to spectate in horror as Helena partially transmogrified into a vicious tiger. Cecilia began to back away from her, away from the cabin, as though she were seeing a monster, a primal instinct inside her convincing her that unless she did something quickly, she would surely die. She regained enough of her senses to know that Helena had complete control of her own actions. But that still meant that she was possibly intending to fight Neric. "Wait! Helena please! It's Neric...!"she earnestly appealed, realizing that since she couldn't advocate aggressive action, she would have to spearhead another recourse.

Cecilia sprinted to James, narrowly preventing herself from tripping in the process. "James!... James!... What's happening!?" she called to him, the worry on her face clearly evident.
