"No" he had said. Well, fine. They certainly didn't have to go. Liliana didn't have a preference. She assumed that was the end of that, but her eyes stayed on the giant's face. He didn't always look like that. So... distant. At least, not when he was actively engaged with someone. His next words prompted a head tilt from the emotionless young woman, and even the piglet stopped his headbutting and peered apprehensively at the huge man. Silence you? He put his hand to his ears, even though it was almost totally silent save for his own noise in the small room. Now Liliana stood up, almost instinctively and took a step backward. Words started falling out of him, some of them spat, some not, all of them commanding and powerful and only a few of them making any kind of sense. The fear that should have burned through her at being in a relatively small space with a man of that size with that kind of growing volatility sputtered and died almost before it lit, replaced with only a sense of vague curiosity.<br/><br/>It looked uncomfortable, whatever was happening in his head. Arguing with himself? Maybe. But she wasn't sure she'd ever seen someone fight themselves quite so hard, or so vocally.<br/><br/>When he stood, muttering "finder", Liliana took a step toward the girl, so that now she was within reaching distance. The giant seemed unfocused, dazed, as though he had been drugged with tranquilizer, except none of his strength seemed to have receded. He didn't seem to know how to move, at least not like had before. The blonde woman knew she was close enough to grab or push the girl if he turned to them, even if she wasn't making a dramatic, protective meat-shield in front of the little body.<br/><br/>He shoved through the door, and even the empty vessel of a person jumped a little as the structural integrity of the room creaked away. For a few seconds, she stood there in silence, merely thinking about what had just happened. He had never seemed totally there and talked to himself often, but she had yet to see him in so much<span style="font-style: italic">conflict</span>. It definitely looked uncomfortable.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I don't know,"</span>she answered flatly, still staring out the bent-beyond-recognition doorframe. The metal of the walls made another deep groan and she continued,<span style="font-weight: bold">"but we shouldn't stay inside."</span>Even after the magnitude of the situation that had just happened, Liliana was still painfully aware that she was tired. The rest in a building would have been welcome, even if the door wouldn't lock anymore... but she supposed it would be stupid to rest in a building that was just as likely to collapse as stand. She easily slipped through the mangled doorway and waited for the girl.<br/><br/>A bundle of bristles shot past her ankles and turned toward the main hub of the marketplace, its little cloven hooves making hollow, rapid clicks on the ground. Liliana's eyes actually widened in surprise a fraction of an inch and she called a fairly sharp, "Dziecko!" after the creature, but he paid no attention and continued his little dash. Her instinct was to break into an immediate run after the little creature, but instinct had been tempered enough for her to realize that the child might not be able to keep up.<span style="font-weight: bold">"You might want to stay close to me,"</span>she said, turning her face in the girl's direction even if her eyes stayed on the Razorback's path. It was as much an invitation to follow as Liliana was ever likely to give another person. She broke into a fast jog after the little creature.<br/><br/>It was only a few minutes before the piglet rounded a corner. The blonde headed for the same corner to continue pursuit, only to have the porcine brat come flying back around the same corner, running toward her twice as fast as he had run away. He launched himself toward her chest and she caught him, any surprise fading quickly, per usual.<br/><br/>At least, it had been fading until she heard the general panic of the marketplace. Shouts for guards, for help, cries of anger and breaking stone and wood echoed from around the corner and the surprise flickered again. Surely Dziecko hadn't done<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>much damage... the foolish thought drained as she remembered the unhinged state that the giant had left the building, something almost forgotten in her concern for the little bristled creature. He... he could have caused damage that warranted that kind of reaction. Probably without any effort. As if to lend credence to her thoughts, thundering footfalls echoed around the corner and a new voice was added to the general din of dissonance, one that she recognized.<br/><br/>The path wasn't so narrow that he wouldn't be able to get through it easily, even dodge around her if he needed to, but judging by the pace of the steps and the insane shouting Liliana was fairly certain avoiding crushing her wasn't a priority of his right now. Still, she didn't to turn around and run; if she couldn't see, she couldn't dodge out of the way and it was very likely going to come to that. The woman took several large steps back, her dead eyes and blank face still locked in the direction of the sound.
