It was either the pair of heels that came with her fuku - she never understood how people could run around in heels anyway - or sheer bad luck on Dallol's part. For one moment she was running alongside the other knights, senshis and even a guardian cat or two towards the Code, quickly outrunning some of them when she stepped wrongly on one of the many stones that were on the ground, stumbled and eventually landed hard on her bum.
So much for retrieving that then. Better start for the exit before that option was no longer avail to them.
Just as she was about to get up however, Corinth - bless his impeccable timing whenever she needed him - was already next to her, scooping her up into his arms before making a bee line for the stairs and the exit that was atop it. Sure it was embarrassing as hell. But she wasn't so unreasonable and prideful to the point that she would fight with him or insist that he stop and put her down. Instead the Squire just clung onto the Neptune Page without a word, her heart in her mouth as she buried her face in his chest and hoped for both their sakes that he would make it out of the collapsing building in the nick of time.
