--thus making the situation probably worse than it already was.
she lets out a reactionary yelp the moment the bug fart/burps out another cloud of smoke, and Lance's reaction doesn't exactly help, and for a moment she dances on her tiptoes, clutching the front of her nightgown even more firmly.
one of the bugs falls from the ceiling to the ground, landing on its back and trying to right itself by wriggling all of its legs in a grotesque and helpless manner. grabbing the nearest thing she can find (a heavy, tome-like book), Allura, who had been the one who told Keith not to kill the bug, starts forward and mashes the book down on top of the bug, causing an audible cracking of its carapace.
she remains on the ground, holding the book down on top of it despite the fact that, as evidenced by the purple goo beginning to seep out, the bug is decidedly dead.]
