If she had thought she couldn't do this before, those dummies running around screaming certainly didn't help at all. Her spell had been a complete miss but seeing the dummies panic caused tears to fill her blue eyes. This was bad, real bad.

From her spot beside Tadhg, Lia caught a glimpse of a obviously very shaken Quinn. There was no way she could leave him standing there alone. Sniffling softly, she grabbed Tadhg by the hand and gently tugged him towards Quinn with a whispered, "He's a friend," as explanation.

Dahlia dropped her besties hand when they got to Quinn, slinging an arm around his shoulders lightly. "Quinn... I- I probably shouldn't be the one talking here but.. you can do this. We all can. We have too," she whispered. None of them had much of a choice. "Tad, this is Quinn, Quinn... Tadhg my bestie since forever." Besides Lily and Elias obviously. "We'll do this together, hm? The three of us." Three were better than one.

Dropping her arm from his shoulders she took a deep shaky breath and turned towards the ensuing chaos that had quickly erupted around them. Scanning the mess of destruction she found a group of four dummies running together in terror. "See them four over there," she pointed her wand at them. "This isn't real. It's fake. Horrible, terrible, cruel fakeness... but still... fake. Keep that in mind, aim at them and cast. Together."

This was almost like how she did things with Elias and Lily. Together. Everything was always easier when it was the three of them. Like right now. She had Quinn and Tadhg to draw strength from and them from her. As a team they could do this.

With another deep breath and a slightly unsteady hand, Lia once more aimed her wand at the group of dummies, trying hard to ignore the shouts and plees. "One... two.." she quietly started to count down. Fake, it was all fake... not real people. Focus. "Three. Bombarda!" Dahlia cast as strongly as she could putting all of her own fears and sadness into it.
