"Eirnin, Tha mi duilich."
It was very sudden, very quick, and in a moment of weakness, hanae pushed the huntsman out the large doors that led to kodas throne room halfway through the fight. For a moment, koda himself was stunned, if not confused.
That was for a minute or so, but it hit him when the room started to shake and crumble. When Hanae's hands pressed against cold tiles on the ground and in mere minutes, the effects of decay spread around the room in particular and all collapsed.
Right onto her and the lion.
"Cad-?"
It is over as quick as it started. In a flash, she pushed you out the doors. In another, she was gone.
You don't find yourself on this end. You are not the one who gets pushed out of the way of danger, you have put it upon yourself time and time again to embrace it in full. When it happens, you are left without word, without sense. Standing among the wreckage, an unfamiliar tightness begins to form in your chest. Hanae's human. Mortal. You scramble to claw her free from the rubble.
"Cén fáth a ndéanfá sin? Bheadh sé a mharú aon duine cén fáth? Cén fáth a ndéanfá é seo Cén fáth cén fáth...?" The stillness in your chest picks up. The collection in your voice falls apart in the scattered remains. Rivers run rampant down the side of your face. "Sweetness..."
