Her panic had yet to subside when she turned and saw a familiar man's face filled with concern, "Are you alright?"
"...Daniel Cooper? How did you..."
Before she could finish her question, she smelled a scorched odor from the fabric and immediately realized what had happened, frantically checking his clothes.
