... i-is anyone listening? I, um... well, I thought I saw something moving down at the bottom of the sinkhole, so I tried to get closer to get a better look at it and I, um... I kind of fell in.

I think I twisted my ankle when I fell, too, because I can't stand on it and it really hurts. S-so, um... if it's not too much trouble, could someone help me get out of here? I'm really sorry to bother you.

This is so embarrassing...

You, um... since you fall a lot, I'd thought you'd know something about injuries.

[corrinesbell]

How d'you know I...never mind.

I'm coming to get you outta there. Hang on.

[knightofratatosk]

Thanks, Sheena.

[corrinesbell]

No problem.

[hear the footsteps through the journal~ May also have Corrine]

[knightofratatosk]

[Just gonna sit down here and wait.]

[corrinesbell]

[wake up!]

Hey! Emil?

[knightofratatosk]

Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

Yep! [and, okay, has Corrine]

I know you can't stand on your ankle, but can you stand up, at least?

[knightofratatosk]

I can try...

[He needs to lean on the wall in order to pull himself up, but he does manage to get upright.]

[corrinesbell]

...Still too far down for anyone here to reach you, though. Might as well sit back down.

[knightofratatosk]

Sorry...

[Well, that's actually a bit of a relief, as standing is awkward for him.]

[corrinesbell]

What're you sorry for? It's not your fault the hole's too deep.

[short discussion with Corrine, who then scurries off] We're gonna go look for some ro--

[want some company in that hole? It's just unstable enough around the edge there that...yep, she's falling in, too]

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil is just starting to realize that he probably should have expected something like this when Sheena takes a nosedive. Careful, Sheena, don't mess up your ankle like he did!]

Watch out!

[corrinesbell]

[not quite a nosedive. But she's quick enough to take the fall and kind of roll through it]

...Oh great.

[knightofratatosk]

[He'd be running over to you if he could, but as it is... not so much.]

Sheena! Are you all right?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just really embarrassed.

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry...

[corrinesbell]

Will you quit apologizing for stuff you didn't do? [smiling a little] Geez, you must be taking lessons from Colette or something.

[gets up and brushes herself off]

[knightofratatosk]

B-but it's my fault you even came out here in the first place. If I hadn't fallen in, you wouldn't have needed to come help me.

[corrinesbell]

Nope. It was my choice to come and my stupid clumsiness that got me down here. Not your fault - I could have decided not to come, too.

I don't have any power down here, but I'll look at your ankle anyway.

[knightofratatosk]

... thanks. I don't think it's broken, but it hurts a lot and it's pretty swollen.

[corrinesbell]

Not being able to stand on it is kinda a bad sign.

[knightofratatosk]

D-does that mean it's broken?

[corrinesbell]

Whoa. Calm down, okay? It's not gonna matter either way. You can't get out on your own, and once you get up there anyone with magic'll be able to heal it. It might take a day or so longer if it's broken, but that's not a huge deal.

[knightofratatosk]

Really? You mean I'm not going to be stuck in bed for weeks? I mean, I know broken bones take a really long time to heal and you're not supposed to walk on them until they have...
