now that i am coming down; won't you be my solid ground?
She laid there flattened for what seemed like many minutes, and only listened to what was going on with wide eyes and no memories of her own life and sense of self to her. She was a blank slate, more or less right now, and when this happened, easy to frighten. She couldn't help it, didn't seem to know any better in this void of memories from the life she had been leading. It would come back later as it always did, but for now there was nothing. Just the need to stay out of harm's way, though the male who had looked threatening had caused her to stop an drop to her belly and stay there.
Another, younger female had arrived, and looked as if she was trying to calm the scene down with her strange words, and Sway could only try to ponder what was even meant by what was said. Still, she lost that train of thought when another joined the group, then another, and another... and one left.. one was asking if he was suppost to bring something (this one seemed oddly familiar in the back of her mind but she couldn't place it), and then more had come, another had gone, and Sway was debating if she should go up to the one who felt familiar, or if she should leave and ensure saving her skin.
In the end she had decided that she would save her skin (since the real Sway with all of her memories was blacked out right now), and eyeing the ways of escaping, Sway started to rise slowly, and only slightly -- just enough to move -- and inch away from them all and towards an exit. Once she had gotten a good distance from the group, so that they couldn't so easily pounce on her if such was an intention, Sway bolted away and went to find somewhere to hide. Eventually the hours passed and her mind returned to her, and once it had, she collected herself and returned home to Spirane.
