[That doesn't leave her much time to react, unfortunately! Whether it's because she tripped or because her reaction time is that quick, Leia dives to the ground to (hopefully) avoid the worst of it. The heat she feels burning at her back is almost too much to bear, but she squints her eyes closed and endures it for far longer than she should have had to.
The smoke left behind makes her start coughing. She doesn't know where her staff is, which is a terrifying realization, and her other arm she finds protectively draped over Natalia. Faintly, she wonders if she tried to save her again and failed.
But it's not too late.]
H- Hey. Hey, Natalia... come on, wake up, okay?
[She winces when moving causes her pain, and tries to get a good look at the other's face.]
