The Roegadyn, being taller than most of the crowd, was able to react perhaps slightly faster than most at the smoke bombs going off. Regardless, she wasn't exactly expecting explosives to pour out of the woman's bodice, and she was caught up in the confusion as much as anyone else.
Steel took a few steps back and away from the billowing smoke cloud, letting her gain a few moments before the smoke would also envelop her vision. She curled her arm over her mouth and nose as a shield in case the smoke was caustic, but otherwise her reaction was not as swift as anyone else's.
She thought she had seen the figure of the Elezen dart through the crowd, but the milling people in surprise and panic made her unsure. She heard the voice of the Sultansworn woman barking orders and decided to make her life easier by withdrawing away from the chaos.
Never a dull moment in Ul'dah...
