Her thumbs press into his throat and she tries to adjust so that she's seated on his stomach - so that even if he does raise his legs to kick again he won't be able to hurt her. The feeling of her hands around his neck is familiar.

She isn't aware of the tears in her eyes until they roll down her face and splash onto Iceland's cheeks.]
