[ Please don't majestically carry her, Miyako-- she's intent on... well, not keeping up entirely, but still running and even though her legs are burning and her chest aches, she'll make it to the door without tripping and tumbling back down the stairs. ]
[Hey, she made it, and that is what's important! Miyako didn't even have to carry her
Miyako barely gives Mary a second to catch her breath before tentatively opening the door to the hallway and looking out. She sees nothing, which is good for them, and there's a whole bunch of doors.]
There is nothing in the hallway. We must continue moving. We can attempt to remain in one of the rooms and hope that the creature passes us by.
[Not her first preference, but Mary is clearly winded and needs time to recuperate.]
[Miyako opens a door slowly, and when nothing jumps out, she quickly scans it and, once she finds it devoid of hostile entities, ushers Mary into the room. She quickly locks and bars the door with a chair afterwards.
The room is just another examination room, with some medical supplies, a bed, and a stool for the doctor to sit on. Miyako remains standing and on guard, just in case.]
[Miyako's watching the door, and while she doesn't turn away from it to face Mary, her voice is encouraging.]
It's all right. Most civilians are unprepared for events such as this. There is no shame or guilt to be felt in having to rely on others who have trained for the unexpected.
[That...isn't entirely unsurprising to hear, but it's still an unpleasant thing to have verified. Miyako frowns, and finally faces Mary to speak to her.]
Are the enemies outside the Flamines? Or are there other threats that we must watch for?
[ Slowly, she shakes her head. ] I don't think I've ever seen one of them... but one time, there were ghosts, and another time, there was a man in a sled that tried to run people over...
It seems like I have many things to look forward to, Miss Mary. I may be referring to your experience in the future.
[Her tone is light, but it's not right out mocking or teasing. She wants to help Mary to feel at ease, because they do have to go back out there eventually...]
Yes, I agree. Please remain in the back for a moment while I check for threats outside.
[Miyako places an ear against the door, straining to hear any sounds of movement. After a moment, she moves to the side and cracks open the door by a small amount. She peers out and, having seen no immediate threat, opens the door wider. The hall looks to be empty.]
It appears safe, but we ought to move quickly nonetheless. Follow me.
[She'll give Mary a second to approach the door before slipping out.]

[ You had to meet the small one with the pitiful amounts of stamina. ]

Was he another civilian?! Or an employee of CERES?
