[ As always, Furiosa finds herself in the privacy of the gardens eventually. They're magical tonight, glowing softly in soft blues and purples that light her skin. She's preoccupied, looking at a bright white flower in the moonlight, her back turned when the first firework rockets up into the air.
Her reaction is primal, instinctual. She throws herself flat on the ground, shimmying into a bush. She winces, not understanding as she hears the whir of the explosives that pierce her ears, smells the gun powder the blooms in her nose. The sky lights up in a dazzling flurry and she shields the top of her head from the embers she anticipates to rain down and singe her.
Thankfully, they burn up before they get to the earth, but she isn't risking it out here any longer.
She bursts to her feet, running low and kicking up soft earth behind her as she sprints. Max is nearby (Max is always nearby), so she of course reaches out to him to pull his arm along in the mad dash to their window. She leaves it open whenever she's outside— faster to scale the facade and hope in than run to a door. She slides through the window, reaching back to help Max the rest of the way in before shutting it with a hard thud behind them.
Catching her breath, she peers cautiously over the sill. ]
Is it just sky blood..? I've never seen it light up like that.
