[ lorem's feet stumble over themselves more times than she'll like to admit later on. everything about this day is making her mind scream in panic, fear, and confusion. its been a stress last few weeks and it feels like her body is starting to finally, finally tip over from all that's been thrown at her and while she'd like nothing more but to give into the exhaustion, the telltale shortness of breath she feels-
she doesn't because she's with lu li and lorem won't drag her down. she grits her teeth and manages to pull herself together, forcing herself out of the haze of fear and hysteria long enough to keep her eyes peeled on the path to avoid hitting something or someone.
and despite it all there's a strange sense of comfort she draws from as she holds on for dear life to lu li's arm. while there's no warmth or press like that of another person, the touch of solid metal beneath her grasp is one she's become accustomed over the last six years. something she has come to connect with 'safety' and 'protection' and she wants to keep on believing in that.
but first they need to get out of the sound eaters' sight. make it difficult for them to give chase if... something happens. there should be somewhere to duck, right? ]
