[His claws once again tear fabric and skin as she forcefully pulls away from his grip (though all her scratches are already healing, emitting faint lines of steam in the process).
Her eyes dart to the book as it falls, brain speed-assessing the significance of its presence without parsing the title - was he reading it? Is it to blame for his berserker state? Just until a moment ago, she thought she was the prince from the mermaid fairy tale - it stands to reason that whatever beast he thinks he is came from a story, too.
Without the luxury of time to scan him for any other key item comparable to the prince's necklace, she targets the book, grabbing it and trying to run once more - if need be, she'll elbow Levi in the chest or whichever other body part she can hit! It's fortunate that it's a small pocket book, because if it were a full-sized one, she'd at best be able to rip out its pages - as it it, she's able to make a vertical tear in its spine while fleeing. She'll do her damndest to deepen it!]
