As Twelve changes shape, he recoils slightly in surprise. He hasn't seen her just uh fall apart like that before, and he wonders if she's in pain.

Not that this breaks his concentration, and as she surrounds them, he wraps his shield full around them as well, making a thick, shimmering dome between her coils and them. He retreats a few more steps as he puts the shield up, ending up beside Luka. He lightly touches his elbow, just for a moment, to let him know he's nearby.

"There's a shield around us," he murmurs to him, hoping that at least being physically safe will help him confront her with this. His mind goes to the brief flash he'd gotten of her, and he wrinkles his nose, glaring up at the monster. But he doesn't say anything else. He's got the princess' back here, angry for him that she'd be forcing visions into his mind without permission, but he won't interfere unless it seems like Luka needs his help.
