There was a very particular kind of helplessness one felt when faced with a situation that should have been within one's skill set and yet turned out to most emphatically not be. True Belle couldn't recall any incident at the Hospital where she had been faced with something as brutal as a crocodile bite, and even then she would have had magic to assist her, so perhaps it wasn't entirely her fault? Miss MacKay and Mr Spryly were in the best place for them now and it was up to them to make sure they had not sustained such injuries for nothing.

"I'm going in," Belle replied bluntly. She might be able to walk into another situation she had no handle on whatsoever but she refused to walk away now. Not after their numbers had been so depleted. "We'll achieve nothing out here," she added irritably before slowly making her way into the casino.
