[ Ellie is woefully unarmed and she's well aware of that sad fact as they make their hasty, quiet-as-they-can-be retreat away from the dinosaur. that's the reason Joel's keeping her close, right? the reason he hasn't let her go? she gives his grip the barest glance but no more consideration than that as they make what distance they can.
...she isn't very comforted when sparing a look over her shoulder gives her a glimpse of the thing tearing through the space they'd occupied scant moments beforehand.
she's calm all the same as they keep moving, catching sight of the drop-off and the dirt path ahead; as soon as Joel gestures in indication it is to be their destination and lets her go, she's quickly and quietly making her way toward it. she thinks she sees tire tracks, and tire tracks mean people, right? people she'll SUPER hope will get them the hell away from the dinosaurs that are, as it turns out, not very nice or kindly hosts to humans in their territory.
the sound that reverberates through the air behind her is eerily familiar; it sends a weird sort of shiver down her spine as she hits the dirt roadway and spares a hasty look behind her. she's got a whole lot of nothing with which to help cover Joel's ass if he's in trouble.
so don't be in trouble, old man. if he gets eaten by a dinosaur, she will both be extremely pissed at him for ruining dinosaurs for her and extremely pissed at him for dying. it's a lose/lose. ]
