her head is spinning - the cause of which? take your fucking pick. until now, it'd been days since she's seen sunlight, even longer since she's eaten or stood on her own two feet. her would-be rescuer busted in, guns (knives) a-blazing, and now? now, she's free from the wreckage, eager to self-soothe & rubbing feverishly where ropes had restrained her. eliza's eyes barely meet his long enough to settle on his features before diving into inevitable shock.
“so … dracula is real, an’ he’s a seriously nasty asshole.” that’s one way to cope with it. (it’d be laughable if the look on eliza’s face wasn’t dead serious.) a beat passes, and her tone & focus soften on the man before her, "you saved my life," it's a breathless, obvious revelation, but there isn't much success in trying to calm her frantic state, “how did you - … do that?”
