I really doubt it... [ There's a low rumbling, but Tyr doesn't move. And he looks over to Rita to avoid looking at the lights (though they shine through the smoke in waves and reflect on her skin). ] We probably need to move forward on our own now.
[Not at all...Even if Rita's mouth presses in a thin line. She does get a bit incensed when Tyr says that, though, and looks up at him to vent.] So--what, that was just so we couldn't leave?!
[ He actually ends up looking a little annoyed when he looks back at her. Always better to look annoyed than afraid. ] Not through the entrance at any rate. We'll probably be brought back to this point if we try to go back.
[ And the rumble is now more obviously a low growl. A deep one with no obvious source. ]
[ He wraps an arm around her to keep her steady, and for a few seconds, he can, but it really is moving too much. Can they just jump off? Are they supposed to? He has no idea.
[Since she can't regain her balance in time either, they end up in a bit of a heap--but Rita doesn't even wait before she's trying to scramble off and tug him back up.]
[ It's hard to regain balance when it's still tossing around, but thankfully it's only a small part of the floor that moved in the first place. Shifting around awkwardly, he tries to push himself to his feet while holding her hand still. ]
[/totally not a lie. She jumps with him, and they end up on what seems to be a solid floor, though it's hard to tell with all the fog--which has been given an eerie frost-blue cast. Probably from dye or lights nearby...]
[She glares at the lights--just a trick, she's not going to be afraid of something that stupid--and looks back up at Tyr as she relaxes her grip on his hand. Not a lot, just going from "painful tight" to firm.]
Right. Something like that better not happen again.
[And she has no desire to let go right now. It's not just that holding hands is a bit of a comfort (not that she needs it), but there's no risk of them separated, right?]
...Ugh, which way? I can't see a thing!
[In spite of that, staying where they are is worse, so she starts tugging Tyr in a completely random direction that she thinks is the right way.]
[ That's right. If they got lost here... Well, he's actually pretty sure she'd eventually blow a hole in the wall and escape, and he'd find her again like that...
Not that he wants that to be the case. ]
It probably doesn't matter. It could be like the mirror place for all we know. [ Which is to say a random direction is fine. ]

They can vent and totally not worry about that noise--it's just a noise-!] D-do they seriously think we're gonna get scared just by that?
action; ♥!
They're idiots if they think we are. I've had worse th—
[ Without any warning, the ground below them shakes, as if trying to toss them off. Apparently it does more than just go side to side. ]
action; ♥! And heading off to sleep now. Good night~! :3
[She wasn't expecting that--Tyr better have good footing because she'll be grabbing onto him as the nearest thing to catch her balance.]
action; ♥! Good night! ♥
Soon enough, he ends up toppling to his knees. ]
action; ♥!Thanks~ And good morning! :3
Let's get off of this thing, already! Come on!
action; ♥!
I'm trying to! It's just...
action; ♥!
[She's going to tug him whether he's on his feet or not-!]
action; ♥!
I am! Relax!

He won't push on if she's relaxed or not. He just straightens out and brushes himself off. ]
Right... Let's just walk carefully now.
action; ♥!
Right. Something like that better not happen again.

It's probably just one of several traps... We just need to be careful while we get out.
[ When everything is darkness and smoke, though, which way is out? ]

...Ugh, which way? I can't see a thing!

It probably is...Let's just hurry up!

He tugs on her hand to keep going through the featureless corridor. ]
Right. Come on. This might be the way back to the entrance.
action; ♥!
If it's not, we'll just make a new one.
action; ♥!
[ It is, however, made of cheap effects like the distant howling that rings through the room. ]
action; ♥!
[And it has nothing to do with that howl! She can't clearly tell where it came from, though.]
action; ♥!
—Are you going to do something right now?
action; ♥!
It's just--oh, I'll just blast the walls until we get out!
action; ♥!
We'll need to find a wall, first. [ But wait a second— ] Actually, forget about that.
