[ Her tiny little kick couldn't have bought them more than half a second, and she's scrambling back to her feet to follow after him only moments before the guard lunges to grab empty air. Getting confused as to which direction Five wants to go amongst the dingy paths where everything looks the same, Merrill flails to reach for him at the same time as trying to run in the opposite direction. The result only sends her right into an (empty) weapons rack where the chain gets stuck. Thinking that one of the guards has grabbed the chain, Merrill kicks out again but unfortunately this one lands right on the small human attached to her.
The silver lining is that her friendly fire stretches the chain out far enough to trip the guard when he makes another lunge, thus knocking him into some barrels and promptly freeing the chain from the rotting rack. ]
By the Dread Wolf! What happened?!
[ There's no time to think, they have to go. This time she tries to find Five's hand to hold so that she can track him better while trying to scramble away again, not even realizing he's who she just accidentally assaulted. ]
