Every word only made the young boy angrier as Juuzou failed to soothe thr bubbling cauldron of emotions in Kais stomach. To his thinking it seemee obvious to go down and recover the girl, or proof of her end, yet every adult within a mile radius just stood gawking at the spot she had fallen with concern but little else. Even the damn shopkeeper, the one responsible for this mess, was struck deaf and dumb. 

"Your words, without action, are spit and wind to me." 

Walking by, Kai mumbled a vague insult below his breathe as he thumbed through his gear. Rope, hooks, a hammer, standard equipment for descending a steep incline. Without food he would need to forage, but Kai had no intention of staying that long.

Approaching the edge of the abyss his knees shook with sudden fear as the father mask slipped back into his satchel. At the very mouth of his destiny he was shaking like a damn baby goat. Afraid of the height or the situation he could not say, but the boy knew it could nor be avoided.

With a series of slow breaths, Kai planted the rope around a sturdy fence post nearby and inched his feet across the open air as gently as possible until at last he found a foothold. 

[i]The first step to my destiny. Father! Wish me luck![/i] he prayed, inching himself slowly further and further. The process would be slow as he went down at an agonizingly weak pace, finding appropriate spots to place a large screw deep into the stone and securing a new strand of rope to it, before scaling back up to grab the previous nail.
It would take a long time but it was his only option. The gods willing, he would reach the bottom in time to find the other boy.
