[ His panic and concern are so genuine, it actually takes her aback. It's rare for her to be genuinely surprised — more often than not, she just pantomimes the feeling where she feels it would be appropriate. But here, she does find herself not expecting such a heartfelt response from him. In her experience, people tend to fear her, when her lack of pain and lack of blood to spill come to light.

He'll find that as he comes closer to her, it's not just her hands that are cold — her whole body emanates a ghastly chill. For balance, she wraps her arm gently around his waist in turn, helping them move along swiftly towards the exit as his contraption keeps the shadows busy. ]
But after we escape, allow me a moment, if you would...
[ Maybe if she says she needs a second for a break after the movement, allegedly under the guise of pain, it'll give her a chance to stop him before he goes turning the hotel upside down for a healer? She doesn't think he'll listen to an explanation at present, anyway, so she'll try to finesse time to give one once they've made it out. ]
