Everything burned. Ysaryn couldn't feel half of her body. Between bruises, cuts, bloodloss, exhaustion, she was surprised she was still on her feet. She wasn't even sure how long they'd been running. She took Kire's offered hand without thought, feeling only the pressure of her hand in her own, without really feeling it. 

Daylight. Ysaryn let out a choked gasp of relief, and felt more pressure on her hands as someone squeezed her. Who, she wasn't sure. They were relieved, too. She tried to pull when the ceiling caved, but the other two blundered forward, dragging her to it, knowing before she did that they wouldn't be crushed. 
The half-elf and the Gemini were hauling the women out, their thin hands reaching for the men, for their safety. They were so close. 

More cracks, more earth shifting beneath their feet. Ysaryn felt Kire let her go as they bound up the sloped stone and into the air. Her breathing was ragged. The half-elf reached for her, and the moment she grasped him, she felt Ruli let her go, as well. Hauled out into the open, Ysaryn grappled, wrapping her arm around the half-elf as she twisted back around. 
Neither Ruli or Kire were beside her.

He'd gone back down. The moment he got a look at the area around the mine opening, he turned heel, darting back into the crumbling cavern. To Kire. He threw himself against her, wrapping his arm around her middle and her shoulder. He was tired. So very tired. He held her firm, inhaled, and pulled her backward, disappearing as the the tunnel caved.

Ysaryn shouted, staring down into the rubble filled hole as Rab began to haul her back, lifting her off her feet to avoid having to physically drag her. 
Until the surprised shouts from the others made her turn. 
Ruli let Kire go and went to his knees, kneeling in the rocky soil. Ysaryn shoved Rab off and approached, swearing colourfully at both him and Kire. Rab, having no understanding of the elven tongue, only gaped at her angry face and her sour tone as she rounded on them.
More cracks sounded beneath their feet, and he clapped his hands eagerly. [i]Move![/i] He tried to say, pointing to the ground.
