"Ghh... Mm... Yes..." He made a drawn-out whining sound. "I'd say I'm alive and kicking except I can't move my legs. Fucking ow. Are you okay?"

"I think I will survive. " Arata shrugged. He kind of just wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep, but there was a cave to be escaping and people to be meeting. He felt around the walls of the pit, muttering "Door, door" under his breath.

"I can't believe you're still moving," Rien groans. "There's no way you're completely okay..." He bats away a fern, sniffling. "I hate these plants."

"Never fear. I am strong." Arata said in what he thought was a reassuring tone. He continued checking the walls, centimeter by centimeter. It was too dark for him to use his power, unfortunately. He moved along a bit, limping slightly. Then he felt something that seemed like it could possibly be a door frame. "Is this... an exit?"

Rien didn't stand up. He was happy to let Arata find an exit. He'd try to stand up then, I guess.

"Yes, I found one." Arata opened the door and called for Rien. "Are you coming?"

"Yea," breathes Rien. He pushes himself up into a crouch, then stands up straight, moaning. "Owwwww..." He seemed more fine than Arata, in the end, limping slightly towards him. "Alright."

a crystal maze amirite
The room was so blindingly bright, Arata had to shield his eyes. On closer inspection, basically everything was made out of crystals, and every corner of the room was identical. It would be easy to get lost.

"Ugh, what the hell?" Rien had to shield his eyes, too. "Well, it's not fucking dark anymore, I'll give it that." He brushed past Arata a bit to feel one of the crystals. He knocked on it, then called to Arata, "Any chance you still have a rock on you?"

Luckily, since they were kind of in a cave, rocks were not in short supply. Arata nodded and passed Rien a rock before going back to admire the sparkliness of the room.

Rien did his best to chip off a little bit of the crystal. He got about a handful-sized chunk, then dropped the rock and went to find Arata. "If this stays glowing we've got a light source from now on." He presents it, smiling a bit.

Arata's eyes widened in awe. "That is such a cool and smart idea." Not that he expected any less from his cool and smart best friend. He took the crystal piece and inspected it curiously, holding it up to the light, before returning it.

COLL AND SMAJRT TBEST FRIEND>>>>
Rien remembered his map and how it was ruined now and he stopped smiling. He folded the crystal back in his hand, then looked around. "I can't believe this place is so big. I thought, maybe, the worst thing in these caves would be bats. Some kind of monster. But here we are. I wonder if this is leading up to something."

"I do not know." said Arata, clueless as always. "Maybe there is a party at the end. A birthday party. Or a feast." He took it upon himself to trudge around the area, exploring. Maybe even the door was a crystal? That would certainly complicate things a bit.

Rien followed quietly, putting his hands in his pockets but immediately pulling them out and shaking the water off of them, grimacing. He tapped gently against the crystals he came across, scanning the area for any indication of a door. When they approached a corner, he started searching along the walls.
