Althea had barely fallen back to sleep when the explosion happened. She was snapped to her senses, the burning fever an after thought, as she scrambled out of bed.
She could smell, whatever that had caused it- an acrid smell- curling in all around her. Douzen was barking as she all but threw herself from the window to try and figure out just what was going on.
There was panic down below- and she couldn't make heads or tails of it and wasn't sure she should count herself lucky the place she rested hadn't been the source of that explosion- but then her heart sank at idea...
Soules.. that soldier..
He..
She threw the door open, and all but ran into Soules as she rounded down the stairs. She managed to catch herself against him.
Ansgar's name.. he was okay!
"What happened!? Are you okay?"
