Alex quickly bites down on the sleeve of her jacket, and the fabric in her mouth muffles her cry of pain when her shoulder snaps back into its socket.
She glances over at Millicent's body. The thought of drinking a vampire's blood makes her stomach turn - even if it would help her heal faster, she'd rather die.
"No, I can heal." She touches her fingers gingerly to the wound on her neck, which is already starting to close. Despite the fact that her shoulder still hurts like hell, she grabs the rope she tied to the balcony earlier and prepares to climb back down to the street.
She turns back to Evie, unsure of what to say. She likes to think she would have found some way to succeed without the vampire's help, but she also knows that Evie definitely did help, more than Alex expected her to. Still somewhat dazed, Alex ends up simply nodding in thanks before starting to lower herself down.
