*in the midst of saving his household (and watching his house disappear in a plume of thick black smoke and crashing masonry), has been coordinating the transfer of intelligence from House to House (within reason)*
*finally gets a moment to catch up on the latest pile of dispatches - Swallow: flood; Harp: fire; Flower: fire; Fountain: flood; and Archer: firing; all accounted for and Blower: white noise; minimal injuries and Gardener: working; 3 in gmh icu and Piper: down; 2ic 1ic* *pauses at the last (Ecthelion?), his fingers tightening on the paper, almost enough to tear it, but it's OK; even if his heart skips a beat or five, he's lived this before and he remembers what to do and that is to keep fighting because Gondolin comes first* *continues shepherding his people to safety and continues to fire reports from his House to the Hammer to the Palace and remembers occasionally to breathe (although it grows harder as it grows darker and Ecthelion?)*
*and somehow it is dark and he is left standing at the site of the Flower and it is burning embers but 'under control' and one by one, he goes through the day's last dispatches (Archer, Blower, Gardener, Piper, Driver, Cooker, Climber, Builder, Flier, Teacher) and slowly, so slowly, gets into his car and drives to the Fountain, stopping at every red light because he has to know for himself*
