<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">Sig understood why Blue was concerned for him given the precarious footing. He also understood how Eivind had ended up in the predicament he was in. He was heavier than both of them and Sig was concerned for Blue as well with his tall form trying to make it across the uncertain terrain. Last thing they needed was for one of them to get hurt in the process though telling Blue to be careful seemed moot at that point. They'd found Eivind and nothing was going to stop Blue from getting closer to his mate. Blue called out, lowered himself and inched closer.<br/>
<br/>
Eivind was happy to hear Blue's voice but not the worry in it. He didn't want him fretting over him especially in doing something so stupid. He should have known better. The mountains were not for grand chases.<br/>
<br/>
"Blue, I'm here," he called up, loud, but it wasn't necessary to yell. He could tell Blue was close which also brought worry. He didn't want him falling like he had. "I'm okay. Don't get any closer. It's not safe." He made a noise that sounded something like a self-deprecating laugh. Sig backed away to transform, wondering how they might go about getting the wolf out.<br/>
<br/>
"Eivind, how far down are you?" he asked.<br/>
<br/>
"Far enough." Eivind snorted.<br/>
<br/>
"Can you tell how many feet?" he pressed.<br/>
<br/>
"No. The fall didn't kill me though, so that's something," Eivind responded. Not deep enough to be fatal.<br/>
<br/>
"You can't climb out?"<br/>
<br/>
"Sig, if I could, do you think I'd still be here?" Eivind asked, tone a little exasperated. He was tired and in pain, even if Sig was only trying to problem solve. Ruling out options was the start.<br/>
<br/>
"Blue, you're okay? I heard someone fire the gun." Eivind wasn't sure if that was just to try and find them, or if they'd been responding to some sort of threat.<br/>
<br/>
"Eivind, you need to tell us what you have to work with down there," Sig continued.<br/>
<br/>
"It's narrow at the top. Opens up down here. Closed off though. Not a whole lot of options," Eivind answered, "A rope would help. Don't suppose you brought one of those? If not, water will do for now." Though even with a rope at that point Eivind wasn't sure he'd be able to help himself out under normal circumstances. His muscle function wasn't at it's best between the dehydration and the infection. Sig asked how mobile he was, and Eivind avoided the question with more sarcasm, likely trying to cover things up so as to not worry Blue. Sig didn't take that as a very good sign, nor did Eivind's voice sound right, which undoubtedly wouldn't go unnoticed by Blue.<br/>
<br/>
Sig looked back to Blue.<br/>
<br/>
"I can head back and get us what we need," Sig suggested. Rope, more manpower. "Find yourself a safe spot and do not move from there."<br/>
<br/>
"Sig, don't you fucking leave him out here alone," Eivind growled.<br/>
<br/>
"Nothing you can do to stop me now that you got yourself stuck. Blue has the rifle," Sig told him, knowing he might pay for the comment later. For now, it would not only be quicker, but also less aggravating than trying to get Blue to leave with him. He didn't reckon he could get him to move short of carrying him off.</span></span>
