As she does so, Thranduil screams - it's something that very few have heard, he very very rarely does it, but the situation seems to merit it.
He's going to die. He will die shortly.
He wonders if it would be faster to attempt to squirm from her claws and fall to his death or wait for her to kill him more intimately. At least, so long as that girl had not been lying, the death would not be permanent, and his soul would not have to find its way to the Halls of Mandos from this strange world.
He does attempt to free himself, at first, when they are not too high, when the fall would be less likely to kill him, but eventually stops, though he is not sure he should. Dragons do not always merely kill, they curse and wither everything around them.
I have no properly terrified icons
