[Aline proceeds to dry heave, instinctively holding the hand that Becky doesn't have up to her mouth just in case. Her body reacting in such a violent way hurts very much, and it takes all she can muster to not break out in tears again. Though she's too occupied to reply to Becky's words of comfort, she definitely hears them and hopes she continues talking. Anything to take her focus off of the pain.]
[As Becky is trying to help Aline calm down, a commotion can be heard near the entrance to the medical tent. Immediately afterwards, a tense chatter fills the air, and movement in the tent becomes more lively. If Becky is able to look around, she'll notice that many of the medical staff are now wearing ventilation masks, and are trying to put some on the patients as well.
Reiko quickly returns with a small bucket, pale-faced and nearly out of breath. She places the bucket near the sink and immediately begins rifling through the drawers underneath. While she hunts, she tries her hardest to explain the situation in an even tone.] Becky. Aline. Don't panic, but our circumstances have changed. A wave of toxic orange flowers sent forth from the Dragon has been spotted coming this way, and we need to prepare for impact. [She finds some masks and pulls them out, handing one to Becky. It's a full face mask, with goggles and a respirator. Reiko quickly slips one over her head and gives it minimal adjustments.]
[Aline is still sitting up and hunched over, though her heaving attack has since calmed down. Reiko holds a mask out to her.] Aline, sweetie, you'll need to put this mask on. Please. It's very important... [She stops herself from saying "for both of you," instead choosing to bite her tongue.]
[Aline gingerly takes the mask and looks at it quizzically, then she looks at Reiko. But since Reiko already has her mask on, she instead looks at Becky and asks,] Show me? [Aline is trying very hard to be strong, but she has begun to tremble. She's been through this before, and it wasn't good...]
