Lilly scrambled after Harald, nearly diving through the doorway he was waving the rest of the squad into. Once inside, she nearly jumped at a shadow she thought was an imperial trooper, but fortunately realized her mistake before embarrassing herself further. As the rest of the squad filed in, she sat down in a corner clutching her rifle against her, shivering, and frantically trying to get a hold of herself. Once everyone was inside, the Sergeant closed and locked the door before waiting a few minutes, listening. After a short while, the sounds of gunfire and explosions became more distant, and he turned to address the group. Lilly nodded along as he detailed his plans, eager to get as far away from front line combat as possible. They only had three weapons, not nearly enough to equip the squad. ... And by the time they were equipped, she didn't think they would be able to do anything. Rocking back and fourth in her corner, Lilly spoke up when Harald asked for opinions. [b]"T-theres too many of them. We can't fight and army with a pair of rifles... We-We need to get out of here."[/b]

Lilly's voice was shaky as she spoke, clearly telling of her nervousness. She didn't know what to do, just that they needed to get out of here. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down as the squad waited for Harald's signal to get moving again. Thankfully this break gave her enough respite from the stress to get some of her focus back. Over the course of the break, her hands became less shaky and once she got her mindset back of focusing on everything in a systematic manner, she felt like she was calm enough to actually make use of the rifle she had picked up. Cursing herself for her uselessness before, she steeled her resolve to not be caught in a panic like that again. She was terrified, shaking, and unsure of herself, but the one thing she resolved to do is be able to actually fire her rifle when the time came. When the 5 minutes were almost over, she stood up, gripping her rifle tightly. She might not survive, she might be scared, but she refused to be useless any longer.
