Dahlia did her best to ignore the trembling. It was obviously the ground shaking, not her hands. Ignore the fact that, despite the ground shaking in regular beats in time with a colossus' footsteps, her entire body shook like a leaf non-stop. No, she refused to acknowledge it. Not the uncontrollable tremors, nor her overactive thoughts and hair trigger nerves. With so much at stake she needed to be calm, or if she couldn't achieve that then she needed to fake it until she tricked herself into believing it.
Distractions helped.
