A fit of coughing was the best she could muster while attempting a nod in response to the question of her well being. The fall had knocked the air out of her, and it was all Riyeko could do to get herself gathered together and - hopefully - back to her feet. That was - of course - until she felt someone helping to tug her upwards, and away from the ground.
With a pained smile forced out at the other woman, a hand fell to her shoulder, and Riyeko would have taken a moment steadying herself there if it weren't for the onslaught of creatures that suddenly seemed to be around them. Perhaps she was just used to attacking from above, but this mess nearly put her into a panic.
An attempt at speaking was nothing more than non-sensical sputtering as the machinist still didn't fully have her breath, but as a hand instantly dipped down to her belt, pulling off the pistol - her free hand rising to cover Penny's ear - and shooting just off to the other woman's side where a slime had started to approach from behind.
