5 - Acorn

[to_dust]

[C'rizz does have his pack with him when it goes dark and impactful, but he doesn't know how to use most of what's in it. He has some water, some food, but limited medical supplies and no torch.

So when he comes to, he has to navigate by hearing and touch. It's very good hearing, but he wishes he had light; a packet of everlasting matches, even, would go down well. Because he can hear things, far away, in the dark.]

We need to find the surface. Go up.

[He doesn't know the way-- 'up' will have to do. Any passage that slopes that way-- or any rock face in this cavern that can be climbed.]

Look, I'm sorry, but you're very small and we may need to run, would you mind riding on my back. Roderick, can we move the things from my pack into yours so she can-?.

[Rolling his eyes in the dark where they can't see, he slowly, quietly opens his pack and grabs for C'rizz's, making the transfer of items. He'd sooner just leave Esther behind, but that probably wouldn't go over well.]
