Hello kids and assorted non-kids: it's another beautiful day in Kenya, another up-at-dawn wakeup. But really, when are you ever going to do this again?

Muttering a quick prayer of his own, Kurt fixed his eyes on a spot as far ahead of them as he could. Then taking a deep breath, he held it and then ported out of sight, just as the rhino picked up speed again, charging through the wisps of black and purple smoke that was left where they had been a second before.

A few seconds later the two popped back into existence a safe distance away from where the rhino went charging past. They managed to roll into a another patch of tall grass. Kurt held his breath for a moment, not hearing the sound of the beast charging at them any longer and let out a ragged sigh, his heart about to beat out of his chest.

He looked over at Libby laying beside him, wanting to make sure she wasn't hurt and also worried about how she would handle the teleporting as it usually threw most people for quite a loop when they weren't used to it.

"Libby! Libby, are you alright?" he asked, a look of deep concern on his face.

Libby hit the ground with a faint grunt, rolling onto her back and feeling like she couldn't even move, as her mind seemed to be racing with the erratic beating of her heart. She stared up and saw only vast blue sky overhead, and thought for a moment that, hey, being trampled wasn't so bad after all. She barely even felt anything, except maybe her stomach almost dropping to her feet and an odd dizziness even though she was laying perfectly still.

But then she heard Kurt calling her name, and she blinked, and turned her head, and there he was, and she realized she wasn't trampled at all, he'd managed to port them out of danger, just like they'd planned...

...and then she just started laughing and wasn't sure she could stop.

Sure, it was probably some sort of trauma response to it all, but she was laughing and couldn't help herself.

"That was...amazing!"

But it wasn't over yet, so she did stop long enough to push herself up on her elbows to look around to find where the rhino had gone.

"Is it safe?" she asked, confirming that it was with her own two eyes. "We're in the clear?"

Kurt looked at Libby for a moment, convinced she was ok, despite the odd nearly hysterical laughing. Kurt rolled over onto his back and sighed, trying to get his own breathing to slow down as well. And eventually he started chuckling himself and soon he was laughing along with Libby.

"I... think we're good. I don't hear it anymore" Kurt said as he slowly rolled and stood up, motioning for Libby to stay down. Standing up to full height, Kurt was able to see over the grass and quickly scanned the area.

"I don't see it anywhere. I... I think we are in the clear." Kurt turned to look back to Libby as he held a hand down to her. "You're sure you are ok? Not hurt?"
