She cried into her soaking wet dress and knelt back up after several minutes; still sniffling and trying to get herself under control. She was totally embarrassed on her reaction and yelling and wiped some more tears from her eyes as she looked back at the girl that was now holding her. "I... I shouldn't act like this... s-sorry.... I... I didn't mean... t-to yell. I... <she rubs her eyes and puts the wet cloth down in front of her> "It's ... just been... so long... I... I'm sorry... I acted like a little girl..."
She shakes her head and clears her hair from here eyes to look at the girl. "Wha-... what happened? Are you... okay?" She asked, looking at the girls nose bleeding a little.
She kept her arm wrapped around Michelle, gently moving her hand up and down along her upper arm. "Its okay. Sometimes you just have to let it go free." She smiled and wiped her nose looking at the bloody spot it left on her hand. "Oh.. Thats not good now is it. I tripped and fell while coming to you. Slammed flat into the rocks. Bit through my tongue and something clearly upset my nose. Im just glad its not one of...-- Nevermind." Her eyes grew a bit bigger at the last 7 words. "But are you feeling a bit better now? Here, let me clean it for you. Ill be gentle. It shan't go to waste like this." Without realizing it, her hate for the Maltese just grew bigger and bigger. "We must get out of here.. Soon.." She thought to herself once again.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
Sniffing a bit more, Michelle nodded after looking at her dress and handed it to Linda. Her breathing had settled and only some sniffs remained. She was curious though at what the girl said. "Huh?... wh-what do you mean by... *sniff* nevermind? One of who?" She asks her. "Your nose shou.. *sniff* be alright though... try pinching it, maybe? It's not broken, is it?"

She grabs the dress gently, and starts cleaning it underwater, evading the first question. "Its not broken, nothing wrong there." She rubs agains the soft fabric of the dress. "I remember them telling me something about a tool hidden near a big oak the day before they left. We should search that out! But ehh... Perhaps you can share with me some things about your husband? Whats he like?"

She was startled a little as the girl asked her to tell her about her fiance. She sniffed a little more but held it in this time. Something though had upset her, however, about the question. "He... he... well... he was a miner by trade... tall... cute... he had curly hair." She lightly laughed a little, as she tried to remember him and closed her eyes, though some tears peeked through and rand down her cheeks. "I loved him... he was kind... supportive... comforting... really protective... I felt safe to be with him... but..." She sniffled a bit more and her face twisted and trembled a little as she tried to talk more. As she continued, she started to break down a little again. "He... he even... *sniff* on our wedding he even tried to protect me... from them... they... they... *sniff* <cries a little more but holds it in and shakes her head>... He died... they shot him in the end... he... took it instead... of me... he... he was dead before he hit the ground... though... I'd die if... I knew he knew I was here... like this... It would break his heart... ~greeii-~... <sobbing a little and then stops>... I... I should stop... I don't want to talk about it right now... I'm an emotional wreak..." She sobs a little more and takes a scope of water with her hands to wash her face.
"Please... change the topic.. *sniff*... what's that tool you said?"
She realized she may have asked her such a sensitive question a bit to early and softly rubs her shoulder. "I..-- I'm sorry. It was to early to ask you such a thing. I have no clue what kind of tool they mentioned. I mean. Its near a big oak, but there are tons of them around." She looks around, checking for anything suspicious in particular. "Im going to need your help here. We need to start looking near the oaks. Look for anything out of the ordinary. Maybe it'll help us get out of here!" She smiles at the thought of that, and then looks to the wrecked girl. "Do you need a hand there?"

"I.. *sniff* I'm fine... I'm fine... j-just a little... let me calm down a little more... Thanks... And... it's okay... It's not your fault." She says back and wipes her face again with the sleeve of her 'new' cloths. "Go...go start looking without me... I'll catch up..." She nods and sniffles.
After a few moments she pulls herself together and with some pain she stands up. She puts her dress, folded as best she can, on a rock near and then looks around for the girl. "Hey... where are you?" She calls out to the open cave.
In the meantime Linda was digging near one of the oaks. Suddenly, a scream pierced the sky, asking her where she was. "I'm over here!" she screamed back. "Damnit, what am i looking for.... C'mon.. Dont fail me now." She looked around the tree, for the third time, to see if she could find anything that didnt look right over there in its place. "Third times the charm.. Right?" She mumbled to herself. All of the sudden, indeed she would find a rock that seems to be a bit off in terms of placement, as if held up by something. She quickly crawled over there and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy for her alone. "Gonna need some help i guess." She stood up and put both her hands to her mouth. "Michelle! I need a hand over here!"

Michelle heard her and started to job in her direction, having trouble a little with her legs to walk quickly since one is injured and the other is sore from her binds as they rub against her ankle. The shackle rattles on the rocks as she heads towards the girl before finally stopping and kneeling down to put the opened shackle around the same leg and placing the pin back in to lock it temporarily. She felt somewhat reluctant to do it, though she had no other choice. Covering both shackles with her leggings of her pants, she moves on with a small part of the chain still rattling a little behind her against some rocks.
She finds her after a few moments of searching next to a large rock and pants a little from the effort to get to her. "Okay... I'm here... what is it?"
She tried to lift the rock again, tossing in all her strength, but only succeeded in lifting it slightly. "I need your help to lift this giant oversized brick. I know you are in pain, but i've found what we are looking for. Theres a small hollow under this, and something inside it is supporting this rock. We -have- to work together here." She looked hopefully at Michelle, who whimpered a little, but joined her. "Now, stand right next to me, and push against this brick with all your strength. Ready? Heave!" They both pushed with all their force against the rock, and it fell down the straight drop into a puddle of water below the hill that the tree was on. "Victory!"
