[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!
action; ♥!
[/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...]
action; ♥!
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.
action; ♥!
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? ]
action; ♥!
...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.]

It probably is...Let's just hurry up!
action; ♥!
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.
