[ she tilts her head back, and she closes her eyes. for a moment she's still... but she doesn't start coughing. ]
Ugh. No. All I can smell is something burning. Like embers. [ she rubs at her face. ] But I am unsettled. It makes me wonder what we're really going up against.
I'll ask you to do the same. Perhaps we can find some explanation for it.
[well. not right away. after someone comes take over watch duties... mizu is an asshole, but not enough to ditch lingsha right away when they both have a job to do.]
[ she appreciates it. eventually, the shifts will come change out lingsha and mizu, and it just so happens that our old pal childe is the next on watch. he'll stop to check up with mizu as they switch, though, clapping him on the back with a very small wince as he does it. ]
mizu immediately gives him A Look after watching him wince.]
Careful.
[if he aggravates his injuries, the horrors of war will be the least of his concerns. is anyone else accompanying childe? or is he taking over by himself?]

[does it actually smell like something is burning, though?]

I don't like it either. [ ... ] Check in with the others, maybe, if you will. I'd like to see if we're the only ones experiencing something weird.

I have a question for you.

childe has the grace to look sheepish, at least. ]
Alright, alright! Sheesh. [ hands up... don't kill him ] What's up?
no subject
I need you to sit still and concentrate. Does anything feel off to you?
no subject
but after a moment: ]
The air's weird. Like you know when there's something huge right behind you and you can feel the presence of it? That.
no subject
... Hm. Different. [and bad.] Lingsha could smell fire. I felt as though I were drowning.

If anyone else tells you they sense something weird, tell me.
