I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
Well, he didn't see anything, no matter how much he pressed his face up to the gaps in the boards; they were too thin, the windows too thick, for anything to be visible. What Sam did feel though was heat coming through the air, warming his nose in addition to the light in his eyes. When he heard Azrael say 'fire', it sunk in what was happening; despite his current state of mostly apathy, there was a flicker of fear in his chest at the realisation.
Sam was aware, even though he was not the natural leader or one to take charge here, he was probably the strongest. It was odd - he was usually full of dread and tears, but the fear in him began to disappear as he thought of what he could do; to try and at least slightly reduce the deaths there would be. Turning from the window, he began to make strides to the door and spoke as loud as he could over any hubbub in the room:
"You are all going to need to leave before this burns the barracks...I've seen a fire at Longnight before, and it...you need to leave." As always, he couldn't speak clearly, but he didn't stop. "There's a back door. If...if I stay and leave out of the front to distract the monsters, you could get out of there and get to somewhere else. The Atheneum basement might be safe." The building was stone and large, and the basement had less exposure to the outside (in retrospect, it might have been a better place to stay in the first place). "I'm..the strongest one here, so I have the most chance. ...Unless anyone else...has another plan."

And I, I think I know just what that means
