... 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...

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]

[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...

[corrinesbell]

I wouldn't call it weeks. Maybe a couple days. Or a week, I guess, depending on how much Raine thinks she can do. Besides, you don't even know if it's broken.

[knightofratatosk]

Well, it hurts a lot and I can't stand on it...

[corrinesbell]

It could still be a bad sprain. Not much I could tell you down here, though. ...But I can wrap it up if you want me to.

[knightofratatosk]

Will that make it hurt less?

[corrinesbell]

Probably.

[knightofratatosk]

T-then... if you don't mind...

[corrinesbell]

'Course I don't mind. ...Why're you acting scared of me all of a sudden?

[knightofratatosk]

I feel like such an idiot for getting myself into this mess.

[corrinesbell]

People fall down holes sometimes.

[looks up from what she's doing and shrugs]

You've got a lotta friends who're ready to help you out.

[knightofratatosk]

But they shouldn't have to be worrying about me because of something stupid that I did.
