( It's such a close call. A hand grabs onto his, and the sting of the burned skin doesn't even register. The heat all around them does, making it feel even harder to breathe than it already is, and he's choking by the time they rush outside. The building behind them creaks and groans, and as if that wall was one last pillar of support in holding it up at all, it collapses just moments afterwards.
Shealtiel catches a glimpse of the person he'd saved across the street just moments before debris, dust and flame rush at his and Azula's backs. He can't remember what happens next, because his body finally gives out in the moment, and he falls forward in collapse. The debris doesn't bury them, thankfully. He just remembers thinking in his fall that he hopes Azula wasn't hit or hurt by anything.
Strangely, even in his passed out state, his eyes are all there, even closed. )
