The thing that Anxia threw was a green leaf toy snake. The toy was coiled like a real one, twisted its long body into a cream cupcake. The shape and color looked so good, like a real snake, that Elwood thought what was passing over its head was real.
Anxia already expected Elwood's reaction, and her hands had gripped the reins tightly so she wouldn't fall over as Elwood went wild. She deliberately shouted at the top of her lungs so that her husband would hear her voice. Even though she cried to attract Richard, her mind and body concentrated on maintaining balance and trying to control her restraint on Elwood. However, Anxia still lets Elwood take her running into the woods.
