[ The whole unearthing - unbirthing? - thing goes a lot faster than she expects.
Probably because she's not alone; even as she frantically digs and reaches, she can feel hands nearby scraping away clumps of dirt and pulling at her wrist. Not once does Huiwon think to question who it might be. Having been with her companions right before all this, it's only natural that the one(s) helping her out would be those same companions.
Except....it's not.
When she finally wipes the worst of the dirt off her face and blinks her eyes open, the face before hers isn't one she recognizes. And while the apologetic words make plenty of sense, that's not a voice she recognizes either.
Huiwon opens her mouth to speak. A dusty croak comes out instead. She grimaces, coughs a few times, and then tries again. ]
It's okay. I thought you were someone else too.
[ So surely it's fine then, if they were both misled. ]
Do you know what happened to—us, by any chance? Where we are?
[ She is pretty sure she was not remotely close to any trees before this. ]
