Trey's ears turn pink as Elayne and Mar's conversation turns abruptly personal. He glances over his shoulder at Mar, quickly looking away before he catches the man's gaze.
"Um...I think I'll go...see how the girl is doing..." He does not wait for a response from Mar or Elayne. Instead, he turns and shoves past Mar, getting out of the ship as quickly as possible. Pausing for just a moment at the bottom of the ramp to get his bearings, he sets off in the direction of the now grounded Skrit Na freighter.
Efaen's body, now freed from the restraints, totters for a moment on the table that is much better suited to human or Hork-Bajir anatomy. Eventually, gravity takes over and she falls, tail end first, to the ground. Her skull hits the ground hard, making a sharp cracking noise.
<<Ow!>> Terenia cries, <<Hey!>> The wound is already healing over, though, as Efaen's head shifts from human to Andalite. Two buds protrude from just above their forehead, lengthening outward and becoming stalk eyes and then the changes cease. Terenia is Andalite once more, sprawled on the floor unceremoniously, her legs and tail a tangle of limbs. But she is alive, and Efaen seems to be okay, despite her continued unconsciousness. Terenia lets out an internal sigh of relief, realizing that the Andalite had not, as a matter of fact, killed her.
