[ i'm sorry but for whatever reason, yves is going to choose to curl up specifically so that he protects the cat more than himself on instinct. he does this with small animals more than once in canon. virche is bad and yves is bad
but if there's solid ground, he'll get up! did he break anything? he doesn't notice. ]
Kitty, do you know where to go...? Where's all our friends?
[ the friends who tried to mufasa his ass. are their bones intact??? looking around now... ]
[ well. he can keep kitty, actually, i was not anticipating he'd save the cat but he can have a friend. all of the other animals appear to have vanished into the dark, and if they're around yves can't really tell. it is pitch black inside, but if he squints he will notice a few things while he's looking.
for one thing, up at the very, very top of this slope on the other side he fell from there appears to be another cave opening. it's incredibly small though, maybe only big enough for one person to fit through.
for another, there's a dull red door right in front of him. and as he looks at it, he hears a voice speak in his head.
come closer closer closer
or maybe it's his own thoughts? the kitty, on the other hand, stares at the door and appears mildly spooked by its appearance. ]
[ he would've saved the horse too but that's hardest to carry in his arms...
yves looks down at the kitty and lets it decide what he's going to do. he doesn't full on walk to the dull red door, but he takes a step closer and watches the kitty's reaction. does it recoil away? or is it okay with heading over to it? ]
kitty continues to stare at the door, but does not appear sure if the door is good or bad. it stays close to yves, kneading into the ground as its hollowed-out eyes remain on the handle.
yves takes a step closer.
what are you afraid of?
should you be afraid? it's just a little door. why not examine it a little? ]
that's a good point. kitty continues creeping along the more yves approaches the door. now that he's here, he'll see the handle is black, somewhat oily and sleek. the wood of the door looks worn, as if it's been shut for a long, long time.
[ it is very, very high up and close to the ceiling. scaling it might be a bit of a problem, given the sides of the cave are slick. there are maybe some small handholds, but as of now there's no easy exit.
it's you and this door until 8:59pm.
is it negotiating? or are you denying yourself the way you always do? ]
[ okay he's going to set the kitty on his shoulder and then—try to jump to reach those handholds? it's not an easy exit but is it an exit that's better than this door that's fuckin negging him? ]
[ are there more handholds going up? like if he were to try to swing himself upward to find another one, would he be able to? or is it too slippery and he slides back down...
either way he's grumbling ]
Yes! Because you can't just force someone to love you! It's creepy and rude!
[ hE'S NOT THE YAN ROUTE DESPITE WHAT EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF ]
[ Oh! He recognises that voice. From the other side of some cavern hole I'm not sure if it's the same as this door or not: ]
Yves?
[ A little loud for his usual speaking volume, but he's not generally the type to shout, maybe someone else can. He peers at the cavern opening... uh... extremely... uncertainly.
Anyway, just going to drop down and crawl through the opening, c'mon big guy. But mostly doing this so they can get to the other side and be there to help Marcoh and Jiaoqiu when they come through. Hopefully. We are young bones so no old bones to worry about. ]
[ yeah jiaoqiu has no problem with going through the opening, so he'll go too, but he's going to help marcoh out if he can. it's okay, we're not gonna let you get stuck or anything. ]
[ the door goes quiet, and now yves is simply yelling at himself.
the other three, however, will hear their own messages in their heads, mingled among their ordinary thoughts.
for siffrin, it's: how could you be so blinding stupid? you let him out of your sight. but there's an exit here. you can make up for it.
for jiaoqiu, it's: it would have been faster if you weren't afraid. if you hadn't run off... if you hadn't acted on impulse, would you have been separated? it's alright. open the door. you'll be free.
and for marcoh, it's: it's alright. nothing to be scared of. you found the exit. you just have to open the door and leave.
it's a pretty tight squeeze for marcoh, but he can fit with a little wiggling. if he can be convinced, it seems. siffrin and jiaoqiu have no problem though. ]
[ IF GODS LET HIM HE WOULD SIMPLY PUNCH HIS WAY THROUGH THIS LITTLE CAVERN NOOK no he's going to fucking hate it but he can do it since it's really the only way through and Jiaoqiu and Siffrin are there to be emotional help and he's motivated to regroup with Yves. He looks really grim the entire way and doesn't say anything through the process but he'll do it... ]
jiaoqiu busies himself with trying to help marcoh through to try and ignore the voice in his head. he doesn't say anything because sif's got it covered, but he does hold out a hand for marcoh to take as he's coming through the end of the tunnel. c'mon, buddy, it's okay.
he wasn't afraid, also!! fuck you door! he was totally brave! ]
