when the whole world trembles and shakes

He was scared, every fibre in his being screaming for him to cling to Alpine and Surreal and beg them not to leave him, not to let him die alone down here in the dark. But at the same time the logical part of his mind told him that he was slowing them down, that they would't survive down here with him if he asked them to stay and the ground continued to shake. But he was scared and those two feelings warred heavily inside of him as he continued to try and shove at Alpine to make him leave with Surreal. It was only when Alpine shot her a look of menace and told him sternly that he was not leaving that he would stop shoving at his friends leg, casting a frightened look to Surreal as if asking for her to help. The quivering ground made him lean heavier on Alpine, the older males words dawning on him as Alpine addressed Surreal. Cracked ribs? A whole new panic set in on the pup as widened eyes looked up at Alpine, orange eyes rounding with worry. Would Alpine be okay? This was his fault, Alpine wouldn't have jumped into this stupid hole and gotten himself hurt if not for Erion screaming like the child he was.

Ears pinned to his skull even as Alpine's nose pressed against his ribs and ushered him further into the darkness, away from the open sky and deeper into the ground. He turned his gaze around to look at Surreal as Alpine's words continued to chase Surreal further from the hole and out into the light that was fading behind them. Don't venture too far she said? He clenched his teeth as he continued to hobble deeper into the darkness with Alpine, not heeding her words as debris continued to rattle down around them until they finally got away from the crack. "Is she? Is she going to be okay?" He asked, voice soft and timid amounts the clatter and rattle around them, gaze still over his shoulder to were Surreal had disappeared. Not would she bring help or would she find them. Just would she be okay. He didn't say anything more until they were further into the darkness, still hobbling at a painfully slow pace leaned against his friend.

Paws hit something wet and he stopped suddenly, it had been a while since the ground had stopped shaking and the light was almost completely gone. There were a few pinpricks of light shining in through holes in the ceiling of the caves they seemed to now be moving through but nothing completely certain to make him able to see well. "Where are we?" He asked, voice horse and raspy. His eyes were burning from dust and unshed tears but still he had to ask, curiosity still managing to shine through the fear. "How are your ribs?" He asked, looking up at Alpine with honest concern. He wasn't sure how deep the water was before him, if it was a puddle of a lake from the lighting. In all honestly he was trying to buy himself some time, not wanting to cross this new obstacle before him anymore then he had wanted to fall into this stupid hole in the first place.
