[ Bolin isn't the only big baby here, because Sakura can feel tears welling in the corners of her eyes too. She was just so scared—in that split second before Kija caught her, she truly thought that she was going to die.
And so she's shaking as Kija lifts her back up and she transfers her grip from him back to Bolin. ]
I-I'm f-fine.
[ Her voice is trembling as bad as her entire body, and her heart is pounding so frantically it feels like it's going to burst out of her chest. She clings to Bolin's neck as hard as she can, her face buried in his shoulder, his shirt wet with her tears.
She's not really fine, obviously, but she's trying to make sure they're not worried about her too much. They just need to get to the top! Then they never, ever have to do this again... hopefully. ]
