The gruff words of the Centurion came rumbling weakly from behind the wall. Enthused by this response, China's short plume wagged sharply, and a stream of soothing words babbled from her maw. If Kaena was still conscious, then her air levels much be temporarily sufficient - The worst thing for her to do now would be to panic, or to get too close to the wall in the event that it inwardly collapsed. China took it upon herself to speak to the elderly woman, regardless of whether or not she could hear it; Nobody else seemed to have the breath for such antics, and besides, her attempts at digging would have been so futile as to make herself obsolete anyway. The girl was built like a bird, with light hollow bones unfit for breaking through thickly-packed snow.
It seemed that the Aquila agreed with her technique, for his attentions did not deviate from the task at hand. Another female, however, uttered some scathing remarks that the silver songbird chose glibly to ignore. Aggression was wasted on the hippie-child, and she offered little in retaliation apart from a slight scowl.
It seemed, in the end, that is was Kesho's destiny to be the hero of this tale. Suitably awed by his effort, the Lykoi princess watched as the snow crumbled beneath his feverish administrations, allowing the aged male to tumble into the depths of the cave. Her nose twitched at the slight smell of stale air exiting through the hole, but knowing her place, China held back from those who had been digging and waited for the others to discover the state of the woman there-in. In no way did she wish to get between Gabriel and his mother at this point in time, although the effort not to run to Kaena was heavy indeed.
Anxious to know the health of her favoured Matriarch, and instinctively craving some weed to take the edge off of that anxiety, the girl's eggshell blue eyes dipped nervously around the bustled rescue group. "Omi?" Came the hesitant squeak, her body almost shaking with joy and relief at hearing the old woman's voice well forth from within that dreadful cave.
