[Heart pounding in her ears, Elayne holds tight to Lan Wangji as he steadies her, reaching for the One Power to help find her balance that much faster.
The sudden shrill sound of the sirens' song catches her unexpectedly, and even as she jumps she feels a sudden urge to plunge into the waters below. But she lands close by to where Lan Wangji does, and claps her hands over her ears.
Again, she tries the weave she saw Moraine Sedai perform, but she can't quite get it, the air weaves aren't coming together in quite the right pattern, and the sound is muffled but still audible. She needs time to sit down and fiddle with it, and she's sure she'll figure it out. But here and now there's no chance of that, all she can do is dim the sound a bit, not block it out completely.]
Come on. We've got to keep moving. [But the sound, even what little of it is passing through the weave and her hands pressed over her ears, is painful.]
