"Got it!" Sarah said.
She flew to Blake, plucking him from his battle.
"HEY!" Blake yelled, "PUT ME DOWN!"
He punched her in the chest. He used her to launch himself to the massive gatelord.
Sarah fell, unable to correct her flight pattern. She landed on her back.
She was too sore to rise up. She'd broken many ribs.
"Guardian Down!" Lunar shouted.

Fionn's eyes snap open and he jumps, drawing a knife. Luckily he realises where he is before he can do anything with said knife. "Sarah?"

"You were having night terrors... I tried to calm you down... Sorry for startling you."
-
He resheaths the knife. "Thanks for wakin' me." He smiles sheepishly, then looks confused. Was tha'... Irish you were speakin'?"
-
"It was," She replied.
-
He smiles. "I 'avent heard anyone speak Irish since before I was a Guardian."
-
"I've visited the city a lot. And I've picked up many languages. Irish just happened to be one of them," She said. [spoiler]There's an irony behind this I want to discuss in PM[/spoiler]

He nods, holding his cloak close around him to ward off the mountain air. "I ain't seen the city in a long time..."
-
"I miss it..." Sarah says, "I want to go home, and take these murderous robots with us back to our system."
-
"Aye, so do I... I wonder how my sister's getting 'long without me."
-
She turns away from Fionn for a few seconds, "At least yours is still alive."
-
He looks concerned. "Did sonethin' happen to Mia?"
-
She broke down, crying.
-
Fionn reaches over to hug her. "I'm so, so sorry..."
-
She hugs him, crying on his shoulder.
-
He gently rocks her back and forth, holding her close.
-
"Finny..." She cried, "I miss her."
-
He keeps her close. "I'm so sorry, love."
-
"Finny?" She asked.
-
"Yes?" He asks, still holding her.
-
"Don't die permanently like Mia did... please?"
-
"I promise ya I won' be leavin ya."
-
She looked up into his eyes, "I don't want to lose you..."
-
He gently brushes her cheek with his thumb. "You don' have ta worry 'bout me, love. I ain't goin to leave ya. Promise."
-
"Fionn, I'm glad I have you..." She says.
