Ellie hopped of the sarcophagus with lightning speed, catching Mana without regard for herself. She too lost her balance and slipped, landing hard on the stone steps, still with a hand on each of her friend's shoulders. "...You okay?"

Mana squeaked but was caught quickly. The only problem was her rescuer wasn't all that graceful either and they both landed. Mana couldn't believe her own clumsiness. It was frustrating her.
"Yea," she said softly with an irritated look, "This 'whole bump on the head' thing is getting old though. Im not normally this loopy."
She gave a large sigh as she just looked over at Ellie. The concern that shone in her eyes was so different than anything Mana had ever seen. It reminded her a lot of Mithos but in a different way. Why did Ellie care so much? She couldn't figure it out. All she could do was stare into her eyes, as if trying to find the answer within them.

Ellie held Mana's gaze for a moment, before looking away, blushing profusely. "It's fine, really. So long as you're alright." She said, sitting up and inspecting her fingers with a grimace. At least one of them would need setting, and the sooner, the better. "Hey, Mana. I need to, uh... I need to set my finger. Could you help?"

"But of course," Mana said as they both sat back up on the sarcofagus, "It's going to hurt so prepare yourself."
Mana took Ellies hand in hers and set to work. She unwrapped what she had, checking the fingers for any infection. Then ripping a new piece of shirt (because the old piece was like ew), she put the pencils in such away that it supported the fingers and then tied them tightly together.
"That's not too tight is it," Mana whispered, still holding onto her hand to loosen or tighten it as Ellie needed it.

The small girl shook her head a little, biting her lip in pain. She daren't say anything, simply held Mana's hand a little tighter. Taking a deep breath, she smiled tiredly. "...Thanks."

Mana simply tied it off and checked it one more time.
"You should be good to go," she said, "Just please be careful. Your fingers are very fragile at this point and need delicacy to heal properly."
She felt her heart jump the few times that Ellie squeased her hand. Why was her body reacting this way to Ellies every touch? It was freaking her out. Mana smiled and nodded to Ellie as she slid down and rested her back against the sarcophogus gently. She was so exausted and thoughts like these only made her feel nervous, so she did what she thought was best and tried to ignore it all by relaxing.

Ellie smiled at Mana, then stretched out, laying back on the steps and staring up at the ceiling. "...Sorry about all this." She apologised after a moment. "I'm not normally... I don't know what's up with me at the moment. Maybe it's... This. We'll get out of here, right?"

"No I understand," Mana said with a smile, "The air down here. It kinda plays with the mind no? The sooner we get out of here the better. But I guess if tweedle dee and tweedle dumbass over there aren't too worried about it right now, then we shouldn't be either. They look too cute anyway right? Ha!"
Mana leaned her head back and closed her eyes. It wasn't an altogher comfortable position, but what choice did she have? She straightened her back a bit with an irritating sigh. She heard it pop several times as indication she was going to be in some serious pain tomarrow.

Ellie winced at the sound of Mana's back, leaning her head back even further to look at the other girl. "That's terrible for you, you know. And they do look cute - even if you hate Ren, you've gotta admit... Opposites attract, wouldn't you say?"

Mana looked over to them again and scoffed.
"Aparently," Mana said, "Though I'm not entirely sure that once we leave this cave that it will be the same way. I think there is something about this cave that just brings two people closer....arrggggg."
Mana scooted down and layed across the stairs too. That position was killing her and she wasn't going to be in pain to help them all try to find a way out in the morning. It was bad enough that her head was still throbbing. She groaned ligthly and put both her hands to her forehead.

Ellie smiled softly, shaking her head a little. "I think those two definately have the right idea though." She said, reaching out and taking hold of one of Mana's hands with a tired grace. "C'mon, sleep'll do you good. More good than harm, at any rate."

Mana smiled and scooted down.
"I suppose," she said, "Im beat. Let's get some shuteye."
They fell asleep. When they woke up in the morning, the rescuers had found them all cuddling their buddies. They found this highly unusual but merited it to the fact of the caves temperature...or something like that. Then they got out, and there was much rejoicing.
Group: yaaaaaayyyy....
THE END
