She saw him lift his head as if distracted and wondered why. Then when she saw nothing to distract him and Shanith assured her that she hadn't bespoken him, R'ana began to realize that he was too tired to work.
Even if he did know what he was doing, which was rapidly becoming a subject of doubt to her own mind, she decided to call a break. The thought hit her too late. There was noise, and a shake that didn't end. She froze for a crucial second, then dove for cover as the ceiling started to come down, trying to drag Oahvakeen with her.
She heard frightened, no, panicked shrieks as pain exploded over her body. R'ana let out a low noise as her dragons panic hit her, and tried to calm her. More bits cascaded down on them and she felt the rubble shift, a bit of light disappearing.
"Am fine..." She wasn't sure if she was, she couldn't check, not yet. She jsut knew if she didn't act soon, Shanith would kill them both in panicked attempts to help. She reached for her dragon's mind, and shouted in her msot commanding mental voice, SHANITH! FREEZE!
The green did. R'ana took a breath and said, unaware she was talking aloud, unaware tears from smoke, fear and pain were tracking down her cheeks, unaware of anything but the need to control her dragon whispered, "I need you to take three steps back, love. You can't be here if the rest comes down."
She coughed then, felt Shanith do so, and shuddered as she felt rock settle. Once the dragon was clear she tried to think. "Okay love, I need you to find a dragon rider. Can you do that?" Shanith fought, not wanting to leave her. The effort of forcing her will on her dragon brought more tears to R'ana's eyes and she didn't even feel herself bite through her lip.
It took forever it felt before Shanith was walking away, fighting R'ana each step of the way. When she did see a rider, R'ana gripped her will tighter. "Tell them Healer's Hall."" She took a breath as Shanith nearly broke free, tightened her grip on her. Only sheer stubborness kept her dragon from going to them, from making it all come undone. "Tell them Healer's Hall collapsed. Tell them two people are buried under the rubble, and one has a hurt leg."
She was breathing hard now, her breathing interspersed with coughing from the smoke and dust. She felt Shanith do as needed, picking up on the fact that she could return to R'ana once help was on the way.
R'ana reached for Oahvakeen, wincing as the motion hurt. She felt his fingers and took them in her own. She was shaking but held fast once she had his hand in her own. She was so focused on Shanith on making sure to control her now that she didn't have much for him.
Once another dragon got involved they could hopefully calm the green a bit, and she could focus on him. For now she had to hold Shanith. If she didn't noone else would, for noone else knew just yet.
"Help...Help's on the way. Just hang on. Soon. We'll be out of here...We'll be out soon." She didn't believe it, but if she panicked now her dragon would kill them both. It was that simple, and if he panicked worse so would she.
