For what feels like forever, Rita can only lie where she is, staring across at the pained look on Yuya's face and wondering if she just got him killed. She knew the risk she was taking by charging in there, and by dragging him with her, she... she did this. If he dies, it'll be her fault.
But then his body's lifted away from hers, and at first Rita can only watch, still feeling paralyzed by this feeling of despair. With Lambert pushing her closer, it's easy enough to reach Rin's hand, and Rita starts to extend her own arm. "I..." she begins, weakly, but then her eyes seem to focus, as if she's pushing away the fog of hopelessness.
With a jerking motion, she pulls her hand back, and instead uses it to push herself up to her knees. "...I'm fine, damn it. I can still fight!"
As she straightens herself, she tells Rin, "Take Yuya. I can keep going." Then to Lambert, she pulls out the other phoenix vial he'd handed her earlier and, scooting closer to his head, offers it. "You're not giving up yet either, right? Need a boost?"
