Valencia considered Caleb’s suggestion. Was it really that important that one of them venture down into the trench to survey a bunch of shiny little baubles? Still… In a land of magic such as this, perhaps the beads were somehow the key to finding their way across. Maybe they were portals, or wishing stones, or something of the sort.

[color=violet]“Fine. I’ll go down there,”[/color] she announced. [color=violet]“Robyn, I'll climb down to get a closer look at those beads. I can even collect some of them to bring back and show you two. Once I'm ready to come back up, if Caleb will brace your feet, you can lie on your stomach far enough for me to grab your hands, and the two of you combined should have enough strength to pull me out.”[/color] Valencia squared her shoulders. [color=violet]“Sound like a plan?”[/color] 

It would require all of them working together, but it was one of their only options at the moment. And now that there were no more hard feelings among the group, Valencia hoped that they wouldn’t decide to just leave her down there for some reason. She had a feeling that, the next time she got herself into an embarrassing situation, Cináed would find a way to pop up and make her feel even more humiliated.
