There was something certainly off about the way that the female in front of her moved, the small fox only just beginning to understand that perhaps this was more than just a warning strike. The fractured mind of the girl was unknown to her as it would have been to Frost, but the sentences she spoke were struggled, broken up into bits that Edie had seen as a weakness. Now, the girl saw it as a threat. Her ears pinned back to her head as the girl moved, backing herself towards the steel door. This was a retreat, though Edie would not admit defeat. She knew that she couldn't take Nadya in a fight â€" her size and powers didn't afford her that luxury. And even if she could, there were several reasons why that wouldn't be a good idea. Attacking a member of the enemy pack would be grounds for war, and she wasn't idiotic enough to do that without Frost's backing. And Frost... Frost would be angry if he found out she'd done anything to Nadya. It was those thoughts that caused the girl to turn, backing away from the insults of Edie's incapability as an effective Beta with one last insult.

Those were the words that got the fractured panther to react, though Edie hardly had time to relish in the joy of it when the employee opened the door. Edie turned quickly, eyeing the newcomer for the split second before he let out a yell of pain. Her eyes flashed towards the panther, it all apparent that she was the cause of that yelp. But Edie truly had no time to react before the panther's body pushed into that steel door and sealed off the only exit. Shit. The only way out was through that door, at least what Edie knew of, and there now wasn't a safe way to get out. The way that the panther turned on her sent a shiver of fear down Edie's spine. That cocky demeanor she clung to had quickly faded, leaving behind the small fox to back away from her and towards the railing of the ship.

Shit, shit, shit. In her nervousness, she could hardly think of a retort for the woman's words. It was the woman's last words that caused Edie to look up, that feeling of dread sinking within her. No, no, she couldn't swim. She couldn't swim and Nadya was going to force her over. It was those thoughts that prompted the shift back to the human girl, the woman quickly scrambling to her feet as she backed away from the panther. She took one quick glance behind her, eyeing that railing. She doubted it would be enough to hold her above the water without falling, even if she could get a grip on it. It was coated in the water and would inevitably be slick and impossible to hang on to. "Nadya," The woman's voice came out shakier than she meant for it to, and perhaps later if she lived through this she'd be embarrassed for sounding so weak. "Nadya, I'm sorry I..."

It was clear that the words were lost on the fractured woman considering the explosions that continued beside them and the way the feline advanced on her. Edie's heart felt as though it was in her stomach as she took one last step backwards, the back of her body pressing into the railing. Her hands fell behind her to grab ahold of that railing, finding that it was exactly as she predicted. Wet, cold, and impossible to get a grip on. She'd hate herself for it later, but over the sound of the explosion she let out a quick yell of her companion's name. "Kato!" Still, despite her efforts, the girl's pleading was lost in the noise, the only other noise was the sound of her yelp as a piece of wood from the explosions imbedded itself in her side, though that was hardly the source of her worst problem. "Nadya. Please."
