[/td][/tr][/table] His ears are ringing. Caustic’s green eyes blink open in a dull laziness, his house coming into focus. He glances over, noticing Aurum collapsed nearby. He can’t see any other large folks around, so he puts two and two together.
What happened? He inhales, the scent of grass and swamp flooding inside, then... smoke? He glances down, noticing the fire from his basement window. "No," Caustic rolls onto his stomach, bleary gaze focusing on his house. He can’t hear himself speak. He pulls his paws around, dragging his body to face the abode. It’s processing over in his head- that was his house. Something happened. Now he was out here. Aurum was next to him. He looks down, noticing Ivan, then glancing to the other two, Suvi and Alaric.
Caustic lets out a gasped breath he didn’t know he was holding, gas leaving his throat. His head points back to his home, staring at the smoke wisping out of the little window. "No," he says again, exasperated. Caustic’s body is moving without him, pulling him to shaking legs and digging his paws in the dirt. "My work," he coughs, taking a step forward as the ringing begins to leave him.
The wolf’s ears pull back, tail tucking under him. His mind is pulling the punches, thinking about the portal device and it’s safety. It’s their escape, their lifeline, he couldn’t let anything happen to it. He’s inhaling large gulps of air, his lungs attempting to withstand the stress of hyperventilating, but is quickly forced into the submission of a choked cough. "That’s my work, I have to- I have to-" he had to save it, right now! He had to go! He had to move, he had to get it out of there! Everything depended on it- depended on him!
His legs pull him before he can have any second thought, trying to go back into his house in stumbling steps.
