WESSEX out of the night that covers me The creature is defeated - for now - but the trembling walls tell her they’re not out of harm’s way yet. Muttering colorful curses to herself again, she looks up, and then looks around. Orders are yelled, the girl tries to boss her around (stupid git, she would have gone for the wounded and unable to walk anyway, what does she look like, an amateur?), but nobody really moves. Except for Deimos, pulling Remi out. Good man. “EVERYONE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!” Friend or foe, that ceiling didn’t care; it was coming down whether they liked it or not. Springing forward, Wessex raises her arm and calls out for the unicorn. “Isla! Take Are out.” Moving towards the crushed giant, she doesn’t wait to assess his wounds when the death rattle is on his lips. Phoebe can try to stop her, but she asks the unicorn to kneel down, then moves to pick up (use those knees!) and nudge/roll/pick up the man onto her back, hoping the younger blonde will hop on behind and hold him till they get out. If the others haven’t moved yet, she goes to them, to Delah and her group, to the foolish scribe wasting time by asking, to Rory, who was being too kind and patient. “MOVE or I’ll fucking PICK YOU UP so you DON’T DIE,” she spits out, pushing them all roughly towards the light, refusing to listen to protests and worries. No one was going to get crushed. Not on their watch - although, technically, drinking from Remi that much definitely didn’t help him hold the ceiling up. That was her bad. Oops. Amalia can walk. She isn’t worried about that one. Wessex does her best to herd the battered group out of the cave, life and death in her harsh words and bladed tongue. black as the pit from pole to pole i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul
