When it's already dragging me down

The little blue bird seemed offended, and had Inoki not been in a very traumatic situation she might've apologised, but as such she merely offered a noise of agreement as she struggled to lay on her side, her two remaining stuck legs making the position quite difficult to achieve. The conversation between the two birds went by completely unnoticed as she shifted her focus to the horse, hanging on to his every word. Well, if he said it was alright, then she'd grab on as tightly as she could. Getting free of the sand was her number one priority in that moment.

The primate on the horses back flung the braided tail closer, and she stretched out her body, extending her neck as far as it could go so she could grab as high up the braid as she could reach, hoping that'd make it easier and less painful for the horse to pull her out. Clamping down tightly, Inoki looked up as he spoke again, a muffled affirmation escaping her mouth in response to his directions. "Al'igh'!" As he began to pull she shook her two legs that were still suctioned tightly in the wet sand, using her free limbs to provide a bit of leverage, even though in doing so they sunk a little bit into the side. But it seemed to work, and the more her stuck limbs became free, the easier it felt to shake them around, which in turn made them more free.

It took some time, but she eventually felt herself become fully free of the quicksand, and allowed herself to basically be dragged until she reached proper solid ground, before letting go and simply laying on her stomach on the ground. She was so glad to be out of there, and took her time just letting the relief wash over her, before finally lifting her head to look up at all the other animals that had helped her out, gaze shifting between the horse, the primate, and the two birds each in turn. "Thank you, everyone! I don't know what I would've done if you guys hadn't shown up." She let out a deep breath, flexing her toes now that she was beginning to feel a slight ache in her legs from all the struggling. "I'm Inoki."
