I snorted, bitting my lip to keep from busting into all out laughter.
You're, uh, really graceful, aren't you?
I said, offering him my hand to help him up.
Maybe you should watch where you're going.

Pike looked at Narya's hand and accepted it hesitantly. "Um... Thanks..." With her support he tried to pull himself to his feet.

you got yourself stuck, didn't you?
I muttered, gripping lower down on his arm with my other hand and pulling as hard as I could. Hopefully we wouldn't tumble backward, and, well, yeah... that might be awkward.

"Bloody rubble-- buried-- my-- leg--" Pike said, yanking against Narya's pull so that he could pull himself up... somehow. And he found himself hoping that hopefully she wouldn't end up falling over him.
He didn't get his hopes up over that though. Murphy's law applied to him at every chance.

I cried out, feeling myself slipping forward as he yanked back, I caught myself, though, my foot digging itself into the rubble pile.
Alright, we need to synchronize this.
I muttered, trying to get a better grip on his arm.

"All right. Synchronize... Count from three?" Pike asked.

Yeah, that sounds good. One... two... three!
I cried, pulling back as hard as I could and praying that we didn't collide.

That was the right force needed to pull out the stuck boy. The rubble around his leg gave way, and he was almost instantly on his feet. Quickly, before he knocked into Narya, he fell backwards again, this time not stuck to anything.

Good job.
I laughed, crossing my arms and looking down on him.
That was amazingly fun.

"Like playing tug of war with the ground," Pike laughed, not realizing that his nervousness around Narya was beginning to fade. However, his suspicion of her remained.
"So," he said, stepping carefully this time. "Time to go."

I glanced around, realizing for the first time that I didn't know where we were. Not good.
Erm, you'll be leading the way, right?
I asked, chewing nervously on the end of my finger.

Pike stopped. "Uh... I thought you were the one who knew your way around these ruins."

No, if you had been listening, you would have heard me say that I only traveled one path into the ruins. I've never come this way before, and I can't see the temple, so we're lost.
I corrected him, resting my hands on my hips.
So, we might have a problem here.

"That IS a problem. Oh, well... C'mon, anyway."
Pike made his way up the pit of rubble and stood waiting for Narya at the top. While he waited, he observed any way that might lead them back to the temple or out of the ruins entirely. Well, he could see the ruins of something that looked like Narya's temple, but he wasn't sure...
"...Hey, is that your temple?" He pointed.

Uh... I don't know, but I think that's our best bet.
I replied, making my way down the rubble pile carefully. I slipped a bit, landing on my but and sliding downward. I gained a few stones stuck in my legs for that, but at least I was at the bottom.
Don't get stuck again!
I called up.
