[He wasn’t sure why he was outside or where he was going anymore, all Nathan knew was that he wanted to get home. He wanted to be safe, away from it all, his immortality suddenly holding little value to him.

Something like a yelp escaped him as part of a building landed but a few feet in front of him. His eyes scanned for any sign of familiarity, a

I said inside!

[And Rachel is half-dragging Nathan back toward the entrance of the safehouse, Evita immediately nipping forward toward the door.]

[inmy_balls]

It's raining fucking fire!

[He's kind of staring over his shoulder in awe as he's dragged away.]

[showchoirstar]

[She pulls open the door -- Evita darts inside -- and Rachel slashes away another familiar before dragging Nathan inside, slamming the door shut with a gasp as she shakes the embers from her coat.

It's only then that she processes Nathan's statement.]

Well -- no shit.

[Quite flatly.]

[inmy_balls]

Fire! It's raining fire!

[No, he can't really get over it.]

There is fire falling from the sky! What part of this is normal? What? Are you okay with all of this? Are you okay with our world ending?

I'm too young to die! [... he's immortal.]

[showchoirstar]

[And Rachel slides Raphael's sword back into her coat before grabbing Nathan by the shoulders, shaking him lightly.]

Nathan. The world is not ending. An Animus is throwing a temper tantrum because someone was foolish enough to let them out of their cage. People are going to handle it. Everything is going to be fine.

[When you've stayed a full year in Adstringendum, nothing is weird anymore. And Rachel has suspended her disbelief so many times during her stay here that it's pretty much flown the coop. So -- terrified, absolutely. Panicking, absolutely not.]

... And aren't you immortal?

[inmy_balls]

[He takes the shaking with a few whining sounds escaping his lips. His face is in a pout and he's pretty sure he's trying to make words. He's just failing.]

A temper tantrum?! I take those all the time! They don't usually involve fire and death and THE DESTRUCTION OF A CITY!

[He pulls her in for a tight hug, burying his face in her shoulder.]

I am. Hold me.

[showchoirstar]

[Now that he's actually hugging her, Rachel is quite evidently shaking -- but she sighs heavily and lets Nathan hug her.]

I am not going to hold you.

[inmy_balls]

[He gives a quick squeeze before loosening up again.]

P-Please? Just for a minute?

[.... 8C]

[showchoirstar]

[ ... sigh.

And Rachel gives him a quick hug.]

Can you go sit down now?

[inmy_balls]

[He pulls away with both hands on her shoulders.]

We're all we have right now...we should think about food and water. Worse comes to worse, I took a huntin' class once. We can totally make it a week off Evita!

[showchoirstar]

[THIS. FACE.]

If you touch my dog, Nathan, I will throw you back outside and let the demonic cats eat you.

There is plenty of food and water here.

[inmy_balls]

[SHAKING HER. SHAKING.]

Food, Rachel! We need to think about food and-- and how long will what's left here really last? Oh god I didn't even get to see Kelly before I died...that's not fair.

I can't handle dying, Rachel! We need to get out of here!
