The cold air barely registered as Dan burst out of the building with Cinder and Hua in tow. Aside from the few times he looked back to make sure they were still following, Dan spent the entire time focused on the exit closest to them. The surging crowd carried them as much as their own legs had, but now that they were out in the open, the current was dispersing to dump its deluge of bodies out wherever they could find open ground.
Dan nodded his response to Hua's inquiry before doubling over to catch his breath. Not that he was out of shape, but the alcohol had done a number on his system, and he needed to flush it fast. Turning his hunch into a squat, Dan took a gasp of air and collected his thoughts. They were outside, it was cold, and they were right in the path of a panicking crowd.
"Y-yeah..." Dan managed to answer, "Yeah, I'm good."
Sniffing once, Dan asked, "What the hell were they talking about? Something about fetches, I think? Was somebody seeing double?"
