❰ as soon as she hears that it's clear to come out, jiang yanli whips her head around to find the larger, awkwardly-sized hole to climb up through...though it would now be a harder thing to do, what with her arm like it is.
the first sign of motion he may see is the egg lifting from the hole, gently placed in a crook of roots to cradle it. from her it's a struggle — she can grab the thickest of the roots creating the hole, place a foot against the earth and try and push herself up...but all that really happens is that the roots shake and the very top of her head is revealed for a moment before she lands back down with a small oof. ❱
I'm— I'm trying! ❰ followed by another failed attempt, with enough force to cause the egg to bounce slightly (though thankfully not out of its crook). damn. ❱
