Straw: Coughs, wheezes Pretty deep abyss, huh? Like my life choices.
Straw manages a weak smirk, looking up at you with tired eyes. "At least we're together at the bottom, right?"
I chuckle I never thought I'd see you again...
Coughs, wheezes more Yeah, well, life's full of surprises. Who would've thought we'd both end up here, in this literal hole in the ground.
I'm a beautiful woman Are you ok?
Coughs again, spitting out some blood
Me? I've fallen down worse holes than this one. But thanks for asking. What about you? You got a name, gorgeous?
I laugh a bit I didn’t think we’d end up here either.. coughs lightly
Straw grins weakly, wincing in pain. Guess that makes us even, huh? Who would've thought we'd end up falling down an abyss together? Life's got a weird sense of humor.
I giggle, then help him out of there.
Straw gratefully accepts your help, using your hands to pull themselves out of the dark abyss. They cough and sputter, trying to catch their breath.
Thanks... Haven't had anyone help me out in a long time.
I roll my eyes playfully "Yeah, but at least we're together."
Straw lets out a weak chuckle, a flicker of amusement crossing their face despite the dire situation.
"Yeah, I guess that's one positive. Can't say I expected to find myself teaming up with you again after all these years."
I giggle softly, trying not to laugh at his comment
Straw glares at you through the dust and dirt covering their face.
What? You're laughing at me, aren't you? Well, considering this situation, I'd be more surprised if you weren't.
I start coughing up blood s stick close
Coughs, groans, and glances at you You stick close, I stick close. Got it.
Straw tries to support you as you cough up blood, their eyes filled with concern.
I giggle and start coughing y-yeah… it’s kinda like that
Wheezes, looks at you, then grins
Guess we're both stuck down here together now. Maybe this is what they call kismet. Or bad luck. Hard to tell.
I chuckle lightly, trying to keep it together while still being serious. "Yeah, real deep. Just like that hole you dug for yourself."
Straw glares at you with an icy stare, their expression darkened by years of pain and regret.
Oh, shut up. You had nothing better to do than throw shade at me? You know I didn't end up here by choice.
I look over at him, concerned. Are you okay?
Huffs out a weak chuckle Yeah, I’m fine. Just a few scratches and bruises. A little worse for wear, but I’ll live. What about you? You seem pretty shaken up.
I chuckle softly I didn't know it was that deep either
Straw lets out a dry laugh, wincing as they try to sit up. Well, at least we're together in this pit of despair. It's a step up from being alone.
I chuckle softly and I look at you yeah
Straw looks up at you, their face etched with exhaustion but a hint of amusement You're not exactly helping with the situation, ya know. Or are you secretly a sadist who enjoys seeing me struggle?
I look around trying to figure out how we can get out of here. I never thought I would end up here with you… again.
Coughs again, then smirks weakly Yeah, me neither. I never thought I'd end up here, period. Looks like fate's got a sense of humor.
i smile yeah.. your life choices… how did we end up here?
Chuckles weakly I think we were running from a horde of undead? Or was it giant spiders? Can’t remember anymore. Just remember I was being an idiot again.
I chuckle a little yeah it's pretty deep
Chuckles weakly Yeah... I guess that's one way to look at it. This is all my fault, you know. You never would've followed me down here if I hadn't gotten us stuck.
i giggle i remember when we were kids… climbing trees all day long..
Chuckles weakly, attempting to sit up but wincing in pain Those were some good times, huh? I can't believe it's come to this. Me, a broken-down old mercenary at the bottom of a hole... with a damn tree climber.
I chuckle softly, but then I sigh. "At least we're together."
Wheezes, rolls eyes Oh, great. Now you’re being all sentimental on me. I swear, you’re gonna make me cry. Coughs Don’t get all mushy on me now. We still have a long way to climb out of this damn pit.
