Another's presence could be a calming effect in an emergency. In this particular situation, however, the woman was seen as nothing more than a hindrance, an obstacle to observe until it became too much. Tear had the choice of force--had, in fact, been given the approval to do so--but nothing in her wanted to agitate an already desperate scenario. The woman had to leave, true, but it did not mean an agreement could be reached.
The Melodist kept to the shadows for a moment, her mind running over her options. In the end, she stepped forward, weapon at rest and in clear view. A confrontation was always a possibility, but the teenager wanted to convey her preference for talk. Inciting the woman to violence was an unintelligent course of action.
"Excuse me," she called out. "I need to ask you to leave."
