[ Annie finds herself tight against him. What is happening? She manages to turn her head slightly to get a better look and dread fills her. This is one of those times in which she wishes that she was wrong. Annie clutches to him, trying to not be a hindrance. ]
Shit!
[ Too bad she can't help! Annie yelps when they start to drop. She could feel him trembling. Annie wanted to say something, but the words are caught in her throat. When they the ground it is hard and Annie cries out as two of her back legs drag roughly through the dirt and wet grass. She manages to save her tail from dragging as they tumble and roll. Somehow, Annie ends up half covering Altair. Annie reaches to touch his face, concerned he is hurt, when the sun starts to come out.
Annie hisses in rage at the sky before fumbling for her bag and pulls out an umbrella, opening it up over them to protect the man she is almost in love with. ]
[Altair didn't answer her at first, he was too weak to open his eyes and Annie's voice sounded muffled, like he was underwater. Did they fall in the lake?! His expression twisted with pain at the harrowing thought and his panic gave him just enough energy to open his eyes and Annie's worried face came into focus.]
Annie?
[He let his head tiredly fall to the side with a huge sigh of relief. His mind was just playing tricks on him. He was fine. He winced in pain when he tried to move. Ow. Everything hurt but at least he was still alive. He gave Annie a small reassuring smile.]
[ She can't help but almost sag onto him. The umbrella she is trying to use to shield him wavers slightly. Somehow nothing bad happens. Her hair falls against his cheek as she tries to see just how hurt he is. ]
A little bruised probably, I don't care. You took most of that fall. I.... I....
[ Annie sniffs, trying to banish away any tears threatening to come out. ]
[Altair's tired eyes narrowed at Annie's reaction. He felt guilty for making her worry, especially after she told him how scared she was of losing him. His arm felt heavy and Altair tried not to wince at the pain as he slowly reached up to touch Annie's cheek with a weak smile.]
I told you, I won't die that easy. I'll be fine but I'm sorry I worried you. I should have paid more attention. I'm glad you are okay.
[ She's already so deeply wound up due to how she feels. Annie leans into his hand just a bit, breathing in and out to try and calm herself down. ]
I... How do we get inside? I can keep you safe with my umbrella, I think. Also you're okay. Seriously. You came to make sure I was safe and.... and made sure it wasn't so bad. I don't think I could fight everything off on my own.
[Holding his arm up hurt but he kept it there a little longer so he could feel Annie's warmth, before trying to sit up with a quiet groan as he tried to hide the pain.]
The umbrella should work. Now that I'm not being fried by the sun, I'll be fine.
[Well, mostly anyway but it wasn't the first time he had to push through being battered and bruised. It was fine and he didn't want Annie to worry any more than he already had.]
Where did we land anyway? I think we were close to the house when we fell.

Altair? Please. Please be alright.
