The smoke woke her before Lucifer did.

The tiny fae didn't spend a lot of time in the tavern, but when she wanted to avoid her family, it was the first place on her list.  No one would look for her inside the tavern walls, not when she'd barely ever been seen in there before.  Fact was, the population of the building always frightened her.  Too many voices and smells to keep track of.  Hard to avoid running into someone.

Yet inside the walls she'd been.  At the second she inhaled smoke, the child slowly encased herself in ice.  An instinctive act of protection she hadn't realized she'd even done until the sizzle of melting ice hit her ears.  Oh.  The memory of Raziel's worried voice echoed in her mind but she realized now that the ability did not harm her.  She'd be like to burn without it.

Slowly, Keona took a step forward, then another.  While the fire couldn't touch her fur, her lungs burned, healing broken ribs screaming protest as she moved.  She tried to follow her sense of others' presences, searching for the feeling of a familiar aura.  Instead, she nearly ran into Sol, much to her surprise.

She coughed roughly.  "H-hey," another sharp cough, "we 'ave to g-get ou- BAKUGOU!" That was Bakugou right?  Felt like.  Could he hear me? She crouched low, trying to case the floor with ice, yet only the hissing of steam met her ears.  She grasped for the minds of the two she'd been bonded with, Kai. Unc... Da. Someone would know.

He was okay with holding his breath. He might have been somewhat immune to fire but he certainly was not immune to the smoke. Luckily, with his constant fireplace and his blacksmithing, he was used to dealing with so much carbon dioxide swimming in the atmosphere, lungs big enough to allow him to only take a few breaths at a time than breathe normally. The flames were making it difficult for the young Quartermaster to see, sanguine eyes narrowing as his eyes zoom in on the sight of the tiger cub. He inwardly cursed at the events, annoyed that there was a child here to begin with as he moves closer, teleporting to the side when broken wood begins to fall. He quickly moves towards Sol and attempts to use the ground beneath the child as a bowl to hold him in the air, closing it up into a sphere with Sol inside while also allowing small holes at the bottom. That way, Sol can breathe from the air below and light from the burning, bright Tavern will not startle the child. The fire was loud and overwhelming, his thoughts were to get out of the Tavern as soon as possible but he knew once he left, the state of the building would be even worse for him to re-enter.

Just when his eyes swept across the area, the male assuming no one else to be left, he heard the shrill among the flames. He hurries towards the source, coughing through the smoke and unable to materialise before Keona because he was holding Sol within his earthen ball. He sees her attempting to move, struggling as she tried to use her water abilities to cool down the hot area. Bakugou pushes away any debris close to her with his earth elementals before trying to pick her up by the scruff. As soon as this was done, he moved straight for the exit, the door appearing to collapse that with a raised paw he summons a jet of explosive flames towards the entrance so that all the fallen rubble would burst away. He pulls himself out, dropping Keona and opening the earth that contained Sol before wheezing into his own fits from having breathed too much smoke in. He would, regardless, be fine but he hadn't been very gentle when putting the kids back down. Then again, he didn't think it mattered, they were safe now and he was exhausted from the heat and flames. "Was there anyone else in there?" he asks, voice raised because the noise had caused his ears to ring. He didn't even have time to look around, get angry at the fact that Caesar was doing nothing.
