She smirked a little, almost reflexively, at the way he stepped back, as if she was going to attack him further. She didn't need to. And honestly, she didn't have the energy. She had no desire to harm him, and actually felt a very conflicting desire to get as far away from him as possible, and not even because of the harm he had done to her. It was deeper than that, but she couldn't put a word to it. It was conflicting because another part of her seemed to very strongly desire invade his space, make something right, as if something was off balance. How strange.
But that was for another time, she decided. So, silently she rose, muscles stiff and sore, but not hindering her, and slowly found her feet, and walked through the portal, without a second thought to the man behind her, or if the darkness would actually take her where he said it would. It didn't matter. She needed to leave all of this behind... And get on with living.
