[Varon has been busy putting out fires where he could and helping those that needed him, mostly children at this point to be reunited with their families.

His trek takes him to Sigyn and his heart sinks. Panic was everywhere and the chaos forces his mind to remember the fire that took his home. This fire is much bigger and it's effecting more lives than just his own or those that lived in the orphanage with him.

He remembers what Conan said to him about not letting his past take over him. He continues his run to find Nill, hoping that she would be alright. His heart races. His body aches but he presses on.]

NILL!

NILL WHERE ARE YOU!?

[Forcing himself to shout keeps him in the present and looking for Nill became priority since she didn't respond to his video report. He fights off the looming fear that the worst has happened.]

NILL!!

[respite]

[ she's crying because she's terrified. that's what children do. and as she cries, the dog slowly soothes itself, because there's something about watching a hurt child cry that either sends someone into a rage or cools their head like nothing else. the debris is all around her, and burning, burning, burning--

suddenly, she hears a voice. a familiar one. looks up, a sudden hope in her eyes. then worry. then aghast. varon! it's varon! but-- no, he can't come here! there's fire, and danger, and--

no! she looks around frantically, trying to keep a hold on the dog at the same time. please don't come, varon. please don't come-- ]

[The burning building pulls him in ways he couldn't explain. He looks around frantically for a way in until he hears the dog cry within. His heart jumps then freezes. Usually when there was a dog, someone was there with it, perhaps to stay with its master until the end?

He shakes off the fear of going inside. The memory of the church and the helplessness he felt as a child burns in his mind.

He takes the cloth around his neck and puts it over his face. He had to save whoever was inside or he wouldn't forgive himself.

Finding an opening, he dodges falling debris.]

Is anyone in here?

[The air is so hot that his lungs begin to burn. Still, he presses on to find whoever is inside. Someone has to be inside or the dog would have already left.]

[respite]

[ no, he's coming in, he's coming in, he's coming in--

she clutches at the dog tighter, terrified for varon, because he's coming in and there's fire and-- there's a burst of heat from her left, and she kind of scrambles over, trying to avoid it. knocking over a bunch of desks and chairs as she does so. the clatter is loud, even as the flames roar all around. ]

[last_to_kneel]

[It didn't take long for him to find the location of the clatter. With a burst of speed and dodging falling debris with some grazing his bare arms in the process with a block, he discovers to his horror that it was Nill!

Relief washed through him but terror gripped at his heart. Not again...Please not again...

With the fires threatening closer, he had to move fast...]

Nill!

[He moves to her side in a hurry and covers his body over her as the draft burst forth. Now it's a matter of getting out...]

[respite]

[ !!!

she finds herself suddenly covered. turning around at the sound of the familiar voice, she finds him crouching over her, shielding her with his body. a sudden, silent cry-- and she reaches with a hand to grab his shirt, unsure of whether to push him away or to pull him closer. you shouldn't be here! but... but if you're here to save her--

but you might die!

she cries. ]

[last_to_kneel]

[The pain was intense. His eyes closed tightly. He didn't cry out. It would have only made her that much more scared than she already is. His eyes snapped open the moment she grabbed his shirt. His eyes looked at her tight fist. He lifted her up taking care to make sure that the dog was there with her.

The heat and the intensely burning building made him aware that they could both die here. His eyes looked to the side to find a way out. The air was suffocatingly hot, burning his lungs with each breath.]

I've got you.

[He looks up to find an opening. If he couldn't run out, he may have to take the next best option and jump. It was too risky for the jump at a stand

He pushed forward in a run, finding any opening he could for their escape.]
