[Of course Danielle couldn't understand Finnish. As smart as she was, languages haven't been a major part of her education. However, yelling and pointing was still more than understandable, and she starts in that direction. Maybe the woman saw something she didn't-]
[Ah, she did. A subway. And underground could be dangerous...but shew as small and it was farther from the giant snake.]
[It takes only a moment before Siiri is at Danielle's side once she reaches the entry. It's not about going inside, it's about using the cover that the chance to sit a bit lower supplies, like how one would lie down during thunder and lightning in the mountain.]
[She wants to say something else, but then she spots the dog in Danielle's arms.
And suddenly ducks down a bit lower, reaching over to roughly push down Danielle as well (more strength than necessary, more than she knows she has), out of the line of the snake's tail that just as Danielle speaks whips over them, hitting empty air where a person not a few steps down a stairs and ducked down would have stood.
Hopefully it will be gone in a moment, this place is only safer, not safe.]
[Danielle cries out when she's pushed down, hitting the ground hard. Ow, ow, ow. (Well, that's why she said she fell down the stairs later anyway.) She looked down with wide eyes, grip tightening a bit on Floweregg.]
[Don't panic, don't panic, panic won't HELP, she needs to keep it together.]
[She's not sure where the sudden surety comes from, the boost of what needs to be done is something that I know, but it is there and she moves a few steps lower on the stairs, looking the girl over intently.]
Hurt?
[Beyond a few bruises, that is. A hand on her shoulder, gently but firm, hoping to root her, give some kind of assurance. ...and then Floweregg notices who this is, her mistress's scent almost hidden under all the other scents around them, but now that her hand is closer...] Siiri!
[She shakes her head. Well, she is hurt, but she knows the difference between 'reasonable hurt,' and 'hurt that needs immediate attention.' What she has can wait and she's not gonna slow them down by bringing it up.]
[The hand helps her panic. There's something reassuring about an adult whose actually looking out for her. Doesn't feel so exposed and having to watch herself.]
[Danielle jumps when Floweregg talks though.] Wha-don't ta-Siiri?
[For a moment, dog and owner just look at each other. Then Siiri puts a quick hand on the dog's head.]
Stay. [And takes it away again.] She's mine. Carry her a moment longer? [Because while that might limit the girl's movements, taking care of one weaker than oneselves often helps people to stay calm, and the last thing they can use right now is panic ...that she is this oddly calm herself only confuses her on the side.]
...yes, all right. I have an ability, but I don't know the limits, so I'd rather keep it for a pinch.
[She straightens up. Okay, they found Floweregg's master, at least that's one thing out of the way. And now she doesn't have to worry if Siiri saw the glow or not.]
[And it's...reassuring how calm she is. It makes it easier for her to keep calm. She had to be calm for Floweregg. She had to be calm to prove she was capable too. She was fine, she was in control. She can cry and freak out later, when she's alone.] You don't happen to have a plan, do you?
[It seems to be the safest thing to do right now - sure, they could be unlucky and it could hit their hiding spot directly, but unless it smashes down on it with full force, they'll be safe here - while trying to run above ground will make them vulnerable to ever single swishing of the beast's tail.
There is a reason why bombshelters exist, even though they don't protect the occupants against a direct hit.]
Then head for 53rd/Baker street. My friend is there. [Or so she hopes.]
[She nods, moving a hand to Floweregg's head to lightly scratch behind her ear. Just a little calming motion and reassurance. Still has the puppy, a puppy who should have better hearing than them, they'll have plenty of warning.]
Will your friend have a way out? I'm not sure how well driving is working right now with all the chaos.
[That is the most that Siiri can give by way of a reassurance right now. Åsa knows the area and will thus have a better idea of how to get out. But that won't necessarily mean that she will have better means to get out, even if she isn't injured (which Siiri fears that she is).]
[She won't try to control the girl's actions; all that she wants to know is if the girl has a plan, if the plan is somewhat reasonable and if she needs and/or wants help with it.]
[She thinks a moment.] Follow you. Whatever I might be able to do is rather limited as is. [Any advantages for being small also had the disadvantages of not having a lot of strength or height.]
[ooc: Let's end it here and say that they stayed together for a while, until Danielle found a place where she could be of use/someone she knew/something similar?]
