While the way Eric looks at her is something she'll never grow tired of, his words make her eyes roll in the most dramatic fashion ever. "Oh please. This dress screams sacrificial lamb - damsel in distress. I'm sick and tired of people and demons and faeries thinking they need to dress me up like a barbie doll. Someday I'll get kidnapped by someone with better fashion sense than Pollyanna."
Secretly, deep down, she loves every movie Haley Mills has ever done, including Pollyanna. But she doesn't say that to Eric -- because he's Eric. On the other hand, maybe he wouldn't think it stupid since the story was originally a best-selling series of novels that Dawn has already devoured awhile back. Nope. She's keeping her mouth shut on that one.
Instead, she gives him a look that she hopes is more kick ass and stubborn than Pollyanna-ish. "Of course I'm coming with you. Not a damsel." Let's be real here though: in some ways Dawn is absolutely a damsel. That was the whole point in the monks choosing to make the key into an innocent, helpless thing; so that Buffy would be compelled to protect it. But in the end, staying in there any longer than she had to would have majorly squicked her out. Given the choice, she's out of there immediately.
She'll follow him out of the cage, wishing she had her crossbow. As she's weaponless, she'll just stick close to Eric. She's even pinching the back of his shirt so that the connection is there. That might not last long because the remaining fae who haven't fled or died are encroaching. Their glamour is down and they look strangely grotesque. "Uh... incoming. Also, at least I'm prettier than Tinkerbelles."
