Even with his soothing words of how they would be okay she couldn’t help but still feel frightened, they had been so close to danger, moments away from death. Had they not moved they’d be crushed by the building they had rested in moments before and it was scary thought. Iris didn’t feel right at all and even as she managed to sit herself up all colour had drained from her as her heart still raced on unable to calm herself down after what had just happened. It almost didn’t feel real. Feeling the thick coated air of dust hit the back of her throat she couldn’t help but cough which only made her head spin at the effort. 

Finally, she managed to push herself into a seat position wincing as she felt the pain not realising how tender she was after the impact of hitting the floor. Trembling as she looked over at Cas eyes not in full focus as she listened to him saying they needed to find shelter. Touching her head, she could feel it was wet, furrowing her brow as she glanced at her fingers seeing her own blood knowing that she must have hit the ground with quite a force to cause her to bleed. It was nothing major as it wasn’t pouring out, but it was still an inconvenience to her as she knew they didn’t have the supplies to be dealing with all of this right now.

[color=f49ac2]“A-Are you hurt?”[/color] Spluttering out as she reached out with her other hand touching his cheek with her feverish fingers, unable to stop herself from the touch as she had genuinely been worried they were going to die. Right now, she didn’t care about distancing because she wanted to make sure he was okay too, it wasn’t just her that had been affected. [color=f49ac2]“S-Shelter... Right.”[/color] Whispering more to herself as she tried to get her thoughts together composing herself, but it was hard as she could still feel the fear that rooted her to the spot. 

[color=f49ac2]“I…”[/color] Overwhelmed by all the emotions she felt herself falter whilst she still shook, powerless to what had happened, and she couldn’t change it. [color=f49ac2]“I don’t know what to do… I…”[/color] The bombings had completely derailed her, she knew the way back to the Capital, but they were surrounded by devastation only putting more obstacles in their way and making it difficult to get back to the Capital. 

As her mind raced on what options they could take she felt panicked, her heart wouldn’t stop racing and she was finding it difficult to breathe as tried to calm herself down. [color=f49ac2][i]I need to focus; I can’t be a mess. I still have to get him home[/i][/color]. Trying to will herself to calm down as she moved picking herself up off of the floor though she was unsteady on her feet. Feeling the blood rush to her head as she stood up her hand rushed gripping it as she grimaced, everything was spinning, and it took a moment for her to stabilise herself.
