[Took the words right out of her mouth as she stares at him in disbelief and horror when she sees the blackened blood on his lips. Is that... hers...?
A question that she'll have to ask herself again later because whatever just happened, it's bought her another opening. An opening that burns away the vines that have wrapped around her, and while the chains don't break, something in the nightmare does. A small crack in the landscape, but a crack is all a single flame needs to be able to spread.
And spread it does, because as soon as he reels back, a wall of fire goes up between them. Unlike her usual dreamotion, this is hot, meant to burn as it creeps closer to Eustace, meaning to push him back, though never quite touching him.
From the other side, he'll see her staring wide-eyed in a panic at him.]
Eustace, please. I need you to wake up. For us to go back.
[Out of the ground at his feet, vines will start to coil around his ankles to hold him in place.
Meanwhile, she's letting the fires creep closer to herself... close enough to singe her just a little... Maybe that will be enough to start her awake and knock him out of here in turn.]
