It was at the exact moment her explosion went off, sending her soaring through the sky in an uncontrolled free fall, that Silje realized why she probably [i]should [/i]have given a warning about the explosion. Unfortunately, by then it was way too late.

Fortunately, there was Justice.

A quick glance behind her was enough to clue Silje in that their squad leader had intervened and contained the blast. The barriers, shimmering in a familiar colour, were a clear enough indication of her involvement. Then came the light and the heat and the sound, and Silje could no longer see anything but bright light. A few seconds and a loud thunk later, she could no longer see [i]that[/i], either.

[color=a1e1fd]"... Ow."[/color]

Silje found herself in a heap inside a crate, her fall broken before it could turn dangerous. Her knee hovered inches from her face, and her back and shoulders hurt from where they'd met the hard wood, but nothing seemed outright broken. Shapes still danced inside her eyelids from the flash bang of the explosion. Her head spun. The explosion had been something else.

And she'd do it again.

[color=a1e1fd][sup][sub][sub]"That was[/sub][/sub][/sup] [Sub]so[/sub] [i]cool!"[/i][/color] She shouted as she burst out of her makeshift solitary confinement like a bright-eyed jack in the box, fists thrust into the air. [color=a1e1fd]"We sho— oh?"[/color]

She slunk back down upon realizing she was interrupting something. That something being Kalina, greeting an old friend. Intensely. With a gun. 

[color=a1e1fd]"Just-- gimme a holler if you wanna blow up the other knee too!"[/color] Silje called out, supportive as ever. She was snugly back inside her box, save for a hand extended out to show a thumbs up.

Silje really wanted to bring up the thing with the princess, but Kalina knew so few people, she felt it'd be better not to interrupt her right now. There was time after, the princess wasn't going anywhere.

And if she tried, well, Kalina had already proven to be pretty good at busting knees!
