"No," she said fiercely. "You didn't have to kill them!" She knew, though, tat she'd been too slow, too lost - she'd needed better focus, better directions, shoes, swifter legs. Temperance knew it was her fault, and it glittered harshly in her eyes, but she didn't have to be reminded of it by Per's murderer.
She grit her teeth. "T-that's not how this has to work!" Despite his teeth, his claws, he hadn't really hurt her. Why? "Why -why are you playing with me?!" Furiously, she picked up a sharp rock and hurled it at him. Her anger flowed out of her and towards him instead of at herself - that would come later.
"Why can't you just d-destroy yourself instead!" She immediately bit her tongue, horrified she'd said such a thing.

"Nothing ever ends!" she yelled, but her voice trembled. Temperance froze, eyes widening as the beast stalked closer. If things weren't meant to exist, than they wouldn't be, her mind screamed, but she shivered.
Then something, someone yanked her up and her jelly legs finally cooperated. She blinked up at him before whirling to face Dee (she had no better name for it, really, and it was of the same ilk). The beast stepped back. Keeping her eye on it, she spoke out of the corner of her mouth.
"Thanks. Who are you?" Proper thank yous could come later.

It was like being stuck between a rock and a place that could potentially be quite soft or hard, depending on the angle. That is, while Temperance wasn't sure the man was helping her for her sake (rather than the object she held - how did he know, anyway?), she knew for sure Dee was not.
"Detrimental to speak?" Her hands clenched as he mentioned the little ones again, the taste in her mouth like ashes and dirt. But if others could be saved somehow... any way possible... Then, she flinched as the beast's claws dragged down the barrier. Without another thought, Temperance fished out the small metal medallion and dropped it, skin-warm, into the man's hand. "Here."
