All things considered, the ground suddenly rumbling was a momentary blessing for Karolina. Cor'Gt had spent the last twenty minutes not letting her out of his sight and continually pestering her with leading questions and any inward ideas on how to escape had proven futile. She couldn't outright give him any information because a) she just seemed like a really colorful human from her own observations and it's not as if she had time on Majesdan to take an anatomy class and b) even if she did know anything how the heck could she ever forgive herself if any info she gave ended up being used in the war?

And speaking of the war, it looming around her head made it impossible for Karolina to make any kind of scene or bluntly tell him to leave her alone. The anxiety of being around peaceful fancy-dressed Skrulls blew but it was still preferable to having any number of guns pointed at her. The second Cor'Gt gave her an opening she was going to bail, steal Xavin along with half the dessert table and find a quiet place to relax.

Of course, life gives her a different opening than she was planning on. "Don't think it's entertainment, feels more like an earthquake. Looks like one too." she said in a bored tone, looking in the direction of the clattering table nearest them. Suddenly another Skrull struts right up to them despite the rumblings and says something about 'high threat' and 'security detail'. Uh-oh.

"Oh geez, what?" She looked over to Xavin over at the other side of the party whose own eyes kept switching between darting around trying to figure out what's going on and keeping an eye on Karolina. "Let me get my betrothed and we'll follow you out of here." Karolina let her feet leave the floor and hovered a foot off the ground to more easily grab Xavin's attention and subtly let her know it's a little more urgent than a nosy scientist as she waved her arm towards her and Jol'Ynne.

Things were going from bad to worse fast. It was almost a little sad, here Karolina had spent time worried of being in the same room as retired generals and brilliant scientists who'd stepped foot on dozens of planets more than she had and had much more life experience, yet an earthquake was making them fall apart and run in terror as much as any group of Cali tourists would.

...okay, the intensity of what was going on made it very unlike the average quake but it was calming to Karolina to just treat this as another school drill back home. In fact, it probably wouldn't hurt to try and share some of that Earth wisdom with the panicking crowd.

She takes flight overhead the closest group trying to flee and cups her hands as she tries to imitate the calm-yet-commanding tone of a high school teacher in an emergency. "Please remain calm and get to the exits orderly! Don't lose track of your companions and don't hurt anyone trying to get to safety!" Too bad the party was outside or she could've shared that one tip about standing in doorways.

At the sounds(and sights) of a mini-volcano bursting through the plaza Karolina abandons her efforts to calm the agitated crowd fleeing the scene. That security lady yelled something at her but she hardly gave it thought once Godkiller mentioned executing the Baroness. As in, the same Baroness her Betrothed was currently flying off with to protect.

Karolina is usually far from the 'shoot first, ask later' line of thinking but when it's non-lethal surges of solar energy coming from her fingertips she allows herself some flexibility if it gives Xavin any extra distance between them and giant hammers.
