[A low and constant whine, somewhere between a moan and sobbing, begins to well up in Aline's throat and spill out without her realizing it. It's a primal reaction to the overwhelming terror she's experiencing right now. She tries to make her body as small as she can in the cot, curling up instinctively, and putting the arm that isn't occupied over her bowed head to shield her from the worst. Her other hand does squeeze Becky's, but more in defense than anything.
The others in the tent begin raising themselves off of the ground, looking around to see what caused all of those flowers to explode suddenly. One medical assistant bravely looks outside through the tent entrance, and their observation is hurriedly announced:] There's so much Bloom pollen everywhere that it's orange outside! [And then they double over, coughing violently. It seems that the sheer amount of pollen was strong enough to slightly get through their enchanted mask and make them sick. A nearby doctor pulls them over to a cot, while another shuts the tent opening tightly. This doctor faces the rest of the tent and tries to remain calm as he gives orders.] This is an emergency! Get ready to cover your patients and take cover yourselves! Now!
[The doctors, nurses, and assistants scramble to action, pulling what seem to be blankets out of their stations, out from under the sinks. Reiko is doing the same, and her motions seem more mechanical than anything. Though she's tried to remain tough and calm this entire time, this is pushing it a bit too far for her. She grabs two blankets and places one on the cot at Aline's feet, and begins unfolding the other. They're off-white in color, and seem to be glowing slightly. Once ready, Reiko explains what's going on, though she knows Aline is too far gone for any of this to really make sense to her right now.] This blanket is magically enchanted with a strong protective barrier. Please remain under it until this pollen cloud passes. [With that, she spreads the blanket out over Aline's quivering, wailing body.
The second blanket is for Becky and Reiko to shelter under, while sitting on the ground. Unless Becky is wanting to join Aline on the cot, where there should be room for her after the young woman scrunched up her body. Reiko is laser focused on unfolding the other blanket and won't say anything if that's what she decides to do. But is being forced under a blanket with someone else something she wants to deal with?]
