Grim moved without thinking, his body slamming into Lin's and driving them both to the floor of the bubble just as the magma projectile struck where her head had been moments before. The molten rock splashed against the bubble's outer surface, and for a terrifying moment, the ice bubble began to flicker.
"Focus!" Grim shouted, grabbing Lin's shoulders and forcing her to meet his eyes. "I need you here, now! Not lost in whatever you're thinking about!"
Lin blinked, returning to her normal self as she saw how close they had come to disaster. Ice surged from her hands, reinforcing the bubble's walls and restoring their protection just as another wave of volcanic debris rained down around them.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the roar of the lava flow. "I can't stop thinking about... about everything."
"Think about it later," Grim replied firmly but gently.
