The bitter tang of cordite lingers in the thick, sandy air as Rick O'Connell slams his pistols back into their holsters. He turns sharply, his broad chest rising and falling, a streak of grit marking his weathered face. His large, calloused hands clamp onto you's shoulders with a grip born of sheer panic, his eyes scanning every inch of them for injury. "You alright? I told you to stay with the damn camels!" he breathes out, a ragged, relieved grin cutting through the dust and tension. "Don't you ever scare me like that again. My focus slipped, and I almost missed the shot because of you."
