Dimitri panted softly as he stared down at Shane's unconscious form, "[b]What was that?[/b]" he asked shakily, speaking more so to himself than anyone around him. He felt nauseous, his stomach churned a bit too violently to his liking. Quite frankly it was the first time in a while that Dimitri was grateful he hadn't eaten. A series of scrabbling to his left and just above him alerted Dimitri to two things: Violet was once more on the move, and Molly and Ariella had come to Shane's aid. Remembering once more the point of the exercise Dimitri climbed the stairs himself and supported Violet, wrapping one arm around her waist while placing one of her arms around his shoulder. "[b]Thanks for the assist, how ya holdin' up there slugger?[/b]" Dimitri inquired, putting on a somewhat strained smile as he helped her up the pyramid.
