[She can't see the ledge, can't see the ground at all, but she has faith that Doctor House would not guide her too close to dangerous terrain when he intends her to let go of him.
She stalks toward it even as it slithers toward them, gripping his hand tightly -- then tighter still before she lets go altogether and darts forward, hands clenched into fists. The snake is an enormous thing whose girth makes it waist-high even as it remains flat on the ground, eyes embedded all down its back. It's for the nearest eye that she aims, bringing her fist down hard. What Ecks doesn't see is the seam all down the snake's side, extending from where its tail splits into a mouth at the very end. The seam ripples, baring teeth. The entire snake is a mouth, and the light shifts behind those teeth.]
