Well, whatever it was, it did something. Lystra couldn't help but to recoil slightly, even as warmth filled her being. It definitely wasn't hostile, but whatever it was...it was [i]powerful[/i]. Something from her very soul seemed to resonate with whatever this was, but it was only for a fleeting moment. When it was over, only a the cold steel of a shield lay on the ground, gently running her hand over the smooth flawless surface. She lifted it, finding it not all that heavy at all and turned it over. The straps were likely to be used to carry it so she did just that. Putting her left arm around the straps, feeling oddly at home carrying the item, whatever it was. In all, it was strange, and Lystra couldn't help but to try and think of the infinite number of possibilities that it might be until Emilia's voice brought her back to reality.

	"I dunno...it was something?" Great observation, really, but she had no idea. If she knew, she would be more than happy to tell, but before she could get another word out in reply the ruin began to shake as if an earthquake had beset the area. She glanced up, just as a large chunk of the ceiling fell and slammed into the ground right next to them. "W-well this is bad." Lystra's own voice faltered at bit, but they had to get out of here. She didn't like putting herself in dangerous situations like these, but there was no way she was going to be dying here. She just needed to keep her cool. Cool now, freak out later.

	"Uhm, you know...maybe run? Running sounds like a good idea." She said, in a decidedly not cool manner. Well, she'd give herself points for trying at least. Before waiting for a reply, she bolted back down the corridor they came down, stopping at the edge of the drop off into the pool. She [i]really[/i] hoped this thing was light enough to swim with. Before jumping in, she took a quick look back to see if Emilia was running - no way was she leaving her down here if she could help it.
