Thankfully catching Rocco is easy with the small distance, and Chris pulls the puppy close to his chest and wraps a side of his singed coat gently around him. "Hey, little guy, you're okay."

And alright, now Bob's climbing down, so Chris need to get out of the way. He takes a step back onto his bad leg and it immediately gives out; he sinks to the ground and decides to just stay there for the moment, hugging Rocco gently and hoping once they're all out the monsters won't follow.

And that there aren't more monsters out here, too.
