Dulce heard Noelle explain she would be fine. She was pretty sure the woman would be but it didn't hurt to offer her a lift. A sore ankle was hardly going to hold any of them back. Still it didn’t hurt to extend the common courtesy in a situation that affected them equally and was out of all of their control. She knew it took more than that to stop Noelle. She moved fast when needed and with far more injuries if she recalled correctly. She had witnessed it a few times. Dulce's lips scrunched up and pulled to the side. Her icy blues drifted briefly to find Jonah missing an arm, the expression on Day’s face then back to Noelle. It had been settled then. Dulce would not carry the female to wherever would be their refuge for the hours of light that were coming upon them.

The sound of Jonah cracking his back casually while commenting on his relief that she was there had her debating on producing a reassuring smile or a nod of agreement. Of course she felt the same way. They knew what was expected of them.This was nothing. Missing arm, leg or all of the above, no problem. As long as you had your head attached to your shoulders you were expected to keep rolling as far as Tytonidae saw it.

Day, however, had a point. Her brow lifted as she turned to face him. Crawling in a hole before the sun would rise was a figure of speech. Aftershocks happen and she was not going to bank her existence on the hole she pulled her length into would be the one that didn't fold in on itself and her. Yes, they needed cover and they also needed one that would keep them safe in case they were discovered before the sun were to sink and give way to their preferred night time. She had was a daywalker as well but that didn’t prevent her from looking like a smoldering pale carcass walking outdoors. Nothing draws attention quite like that would. So strolling outside before dark was not an option.

As for Jonah’s arm drawing attention Dulce had no issue solving that. She said nothing as she walked towards the outdoor sporting goods shop just beyond where they were standing. the front door was shattered from the projectile shards of glass from the chandelier. It made it so much easier to reach in and work the inside lock to open. She pulled the door frame and stepped inside to take a look around. It took a few seconds and a some foot work but she managed to retrieve what would solve Jonah’s current injury from standing out. With the XXXL winter parka pulled over her shoulder she made her way back out. Just as she was about to exit she grabbed a weather radio that was nicely packaged with a set of batteries and a special promotion item. She made her way back to the group and handed Jonah the jacket.

“I hope it will fit enough to cover what you currently lack.” She took her attention from Jonah briefly.

Dulce looked to Day and handed him the weather radio so he could have something to put together besides ideas of who will break the masquerade.

“We would be better off finding a windowless, secure center to hole up in. We are likely to find something like that close by.” Her icy blues watched Day to see what he would do with the radio she handed over. “That may or may not help us figure out what is going on. As for the suggestion you will have to take certain measures to deal with any of us drawing attention I assure you that won’t be happening.” Her eyes drifted to Jonah’s and then Noell’s briefly. “As for quick and painless…” Her icy blues rounded back and fixed on Day.”How disappointing and unsatisfying.”

Dulce was tempted to take the time to visually check on those she was responsible for and equally concerned about. She would do so when the situation at hand was safe. The storm was violent and there was no reason for her to assume it couldn’t get worse that it was already. No one expected to see what she had already. who was to say more would not happen. Her energy was already fading and what she had left to work with may be needed yet.
