[At some point, having been able to escape and end her undignified need to be carried outta there, Ouse has ended up alone. Perhaps in the confusion she'd gotten separated from the men and now found herself staring out at the relative carnage following the prisoners escaping and the monkeys going into a frenzy.
Despite a few dirt smudges, Ouse manages to stick out by still being in a more-or-less pristine white wedding kimono, her knapsack clutched tightly to her as she tries to avoid the main conflicts, knowing she'd be useless without access to a steadier water source. But her knife is clutched in her hand still anyhow, just in case.
It's hard to be inconspicuous in all-white, however, and it isn't long before a monkey catches up to her. She can only move with rather slow, deliberate steps so it's not too surprising either, but as she turns to face the monkey she lifts her hood just a little...
For a moment, her appearance wavers and changes; this particular monkey seems at least smart enough to not want to fuck with whatever that is and quickly hightails it out of there in search of less pants-shittingly terrifying prey. The entire effect lasts only a second or two, a blink of an eye, before she's back to her more human appearance and she heaves a deep sigh, lifting her head to survey the area again.
Despite the violence, she seems hardly moved by it. Honestly, she's seen a lot worse and a lot gorier things and she's rather emotionally exhausted from how weird this whole sequence of events has been.
Ouse turns and begins to walk away again, but winces as her bare feet tread on broken pieces of wood and debris, forcing her to pause again and look down in dismay]
...Perhaps I will need to be carried a little further... [Dammit.]
