Let's... let's see if we can get back to the exit, okay?
[And then maybe come back, only with a rope. He swallows, eyes the darkness by Ukoku's feet, and makes a determined jump for it. His feet come down sideways, and he sways wildly, tightening his grip in a last-minute attempt to keep his balance.]
Okay! Uh -- okay. We can... we can go that way?
[He points ahead, and a little up, at the light again, hoping that there's enough light still for Ukoku to pick him out in the darkening gloom.]
