Rahne had started hyperventilating... which had an unfortunate resemblance to panting. She yelped as one of the flung aside breadsticks hit her in the face. Oh right. Just a breadstick.
And there was a loud crash and much more light against her closed eyelids. She parted her fingers, peeking out at all the strangers. She didn't have the first clue what to do. She sort of wished the building would blow up. Then at least people would be distracted.
Should she get up? Try to run? Try to speak? Start crying? Scream again? She really wished she had Siryn's powers, at a time like this. Hey, maybe she did. Weirder things had happened, in the past two minutes. Power switch? Much less crazy than this.
She opened her mouth and tried to scream, but all that she could get out was a strangled "Eek!" Scratch Plan A.
