[No sitting up. Sheena will feel if she starts to move, and endeavor to keep her still, as well as she can.]

Yeah. Something must've hit you on the head pretty hard, though. [A few quick coughs.] I can't hear anybody out there.

... are we trapped?

[A cough takes a hold of her before she can inquire further. She still feels her body reacting to the gel and trying to stabilize, but it hasn't put a calm to the borderline panic feeling, either, though she desperately attempts to suppress that. Much like the coughs, moving her hand to cover her mouth. At least most of the dust has settled by now.]

...Yeah.

[She'll let that sit for a minute. Then Raine starts coughing. an extra pair of hands is there to support her if she needs it.]

Oh, hey, hang on. Is there water in your bag? [She doesn't think Raine'll appreciate a suggestion to tie anything over her face right now.] I dunno if you could sit up to drink any, but...

[Finally the coughing subsides, giving her a few moments to process Sheena's next query.]

There should be some water and provisions still left.

Do you want some? Might help.

[Even though it's already dark, Sheena can sense a different kind of darkness edging in on her. Raine's awake, she didn't pass out again or anything. The gel worked. They're trapped, but there's still air to breathe so it can't be an airtight setup.

Can her responsibilities end now? At least until she can sleep off the summoning?

What a futile question. It's obvious that Raine's still struggling, and anyway it'll take both of them to get out.]

We can share it.

[But it probably requires her sitting up. She attempts to do that, just so she's not being a burden on Sheena.

And that dizziness comes right back in, and she groans slightly instead.]

Hey, stop that. [The best Sheena can do is shift a little bit herself, so Raine is sitting somewhat more upright.] I told you, you hit your head pretty hard. You were out for a while.

[We'll not talk about the part where she didn't think Raine was breathing.] If it were me you'd stick me in the clinic for a week, or something. Or at least in bed. [There's a smile in the words. Using a soft voice, and speaking slowly, but still trying to make Raine feel better.]

[More upright in the dark, but slumped forward a little, holding her head. Trying to be practical. Trying to mentally connect the last few events. She breathes.]

I wonder if the radio made it in here... I don't think the attachment I had is still on.

If you want me to start looking around for other stuff, you're gonna have to lay flat on the ground.

[There's enough power there for a light, at least. Sheena pulls out a different card, holding it out as it begins to glow very softly.

Some dust still hangs and drifts in the space - rocks piled up, taking the shape of the barrier they projected earlier - and Sheena flinches and squints against the light, after such a stretch of darkness. If Raine's looking, she'll see a piece of plain cloth tied around the bottom half of Sheena's face, and clear tracks through the dust all around her eyes.]

Unless you can see it now? I can't keep this up for very long.

[The light is bright and almost harsh, after a stretch of darkness. Raine strains her eyes to look around, but the area around them is very small, and all that she can see is rocks and dirt. And Sheena.]

... Don't waste your strength.

[She can tell that Sheena might not have too much, and she's being forced to look out for the both of them. Instead she finds her bag, looking through it for any kind of light, as well as the water canteen. And the radio, which is nowhere to be seen. But she does find a small light, tucked in the bottom.]

It's not a waste if it helps.

[A light. Once Raine turns it on, Sheena puts her light out and carefully leans herself back against the wall, coughing.]

Sorry about waking you up that way.

... I'm not sure what you mean.

[She still wasn't exactly 'with' the situation to put all the pieces together. Slowly, she manages to take a small sip from the canteen, before screwing the cap back on and handing it over to Sheena.]

Oh. Uh, never mind. I'll tell you about it later.

[It might be all she can take not to gulp that water. Her throat feels like a desert. But she's careful about it and doesn't drink very much, either.]

How d'you feel? And don't just say 'fine' or something.

... I am fine. Now, anyway. [No, she has a headache, and the reminder of it has her holding her head again.] ... Well. Maybe a little dizzy.

Did you get hurt anywhere else?

[Not that there's much either of them could do about it.]

I've been thinking about how we're gonna get back out there.

The gel helped with that. Nothing's broken, anyway. [She's exhausted and sore, but there's no need to give the full list. She might have twisted something when she fell.

She glances back up to the top of the 'dome' they've found themselves in, briefly. The height's not too high, but it seems... stable.]

There's magic, but it would be a ...

[And that's when she finds herself in a vivid recollection, and she stops speaking abruptly.]

[Maybe Sheena wants the list. A list of minor problems helps convince her there aren't any major ones. She also looks up at their 'ceiling' and shudders. Stable now. If they move the wrong rock, the whole thing could really come down on top of them, and there's no telling how thick that pile of stone actually is]

I thought about waiting until we could just...blast it apart, but I dunno if- [That's a long and strained silence, and she squints down at Raine in the dim light] What happened?

[Her answer doesn't come immediately, but eventually, she tries to shake off the images. Or at least shrug them off. Doesn't help when she's already shaking.]

N-nothing. I was just... realizing.

Realizing what? ...Are you sure you're not cold?

[If she is, Sheena will take off her top upper layer and let Raine use it as a blanket. ...A torn and dirty one, but it's better than nothing. It's so warm in that space, though...that if Raine says she's cold, there's some other kind of problem.]

Maybe you should just sleep for a while or something. It's not like anything's gonna happen in here.

I'm not cold! ... And I should try to stay awake for a while. If I have hit my head. You... probably could use the rest.

[She attempts to situate herself so she's in a more comfortable position.]

I'm okay. Sitting here isn't so bad. ...Do you wanna lay down all the way?

... I might fall asleep if I did that.

I'd wake you up if anything started to happen. [Sheena shifts, too, trying to work around a sore spot in her back.] I'm really hoping someone comes down this tunnel and finds us.

[She coughs slightly again, but finally voices at least once concern.]

... and if I don't wake up?

Don't talk like that. You'll wake up. I think you've hit your head harder than that before.
