The world seemed to him like it was upside down and forever twisting around. He had no notion of if it were night or day or how much time had passed. The storm had not abated and had in fact seemed to get worse, panic and stress had gripped everyone and tensions were running extremely high within the court. It would be a reflection upon Casa's strength and determination if they all survived this storm and rebuilt their damaged property. He made his way through the lower rooms of the court wading through water that was steadily rising. No wonder people were beginning to panic. He tried to calm down whoever he met whilst at the same time keep himself from freaking out.
Lightning cracked outside and thunder followed for a second out blasting the wind as he covered his ears. A doggish cry called him closer and he was in time to see a reddish body disappear up the stairs. Gritting his teeth against the cold water he followed. As he reached the top a new flood of water flowed downwards and Neela's yelp was loud. Summoning his strength the man turned and faced the depths of Fort Kingsbury and let a booming bark roll forth, the sound echoing loud over the driving wind that blustered against their walls. If any had not heard Neela's sharp cry they would have certainly heard Lorenzo's which was akin to a clap of thunder rumbling through the corridors.
The Gambi continued to follow behind his brother's woman at a distance, unable to move quickly through the deepening water. He caught up to her as she was trying to hold the plank of wood against the window and hammer at the same time, as he got closer he shouted at her over the wind,
"What ya think yer doin' up 'ere! Ya shout be downstairs Neela. Tis not safe fer ya up 'ere!" He knew it was a futile effort to try to get her to return but he couldn't stop himself from voicing the words anyway. White bandages stood out against the dusty fur on his arm where she had bitten him whilst he tried to evacuate her from her house. Grimacing Lorenzo threw himself against the piece of wood she was trying to nail back into place despite the leaking water and held it still fighting against the force of the current. He too caught a glimpse of her house, almost totally flooded and knew that he had done the right thing even if it had meant harassing and bullying her to get her to leave. He would never say a word against her for it though, it was her maternal instinct to fight all who tried to make her move her young pups.
