[There's one horrible moment where all she remembers is the chaos of the Blind Pig, Gnarlak hitting the floor, aurors and criminals apparating all around her. The disapparation shield must not be up yet and they need to go, they need to leave, to get out before-
Tani jerks awake beside her and she gasps softly, fingers clutching his arm but it's not his name on her lips, in that brief moment between waking and dreaming.]
Jacob?!
[And then her mind catches up with the onslaught of memories and she frowns, hating the gaps that she can feel in her mind but knowing they'll fill in eventually. For now she has to worry about the man beside her, not Jacob, not anymore, or yet? She's not even sure.
She's used to waking up to casual kisses in Tani's bed, or wandering hands. Not this. One delicate hand smooths up his back and she shifts up onto one elbow.]
Tani? Sweetheart? [His breathing is so harsh and it scares her, makes her sit up the rest of the way and lean against his side.]

You're okay... [It's meant to be soothing.]
