So maybe ignoring the older girl hadn't been the most polite thing to do but this was an emergency. That made it somewhat okay. Alright, it didn't make it any better at all and she knew that, truly she did but in that space of a few seconds, there had been a decision to make, answer the girl or save Fluffeh. Clearly the lioness had chosen the latter of those and now she was paying the price.

Her efforts had been no use. The situation really couldn't get much worse. Everything paled in comparison now that she was sure her stuffed creature was gone for good.

Surely whoever had been there had seen her fall, had seen Fluffeh sink down into the swamp just out of her reach, seen how close she already was to crying. She expected to hear laughter but instead heard coughing followed by an offer of help. Did she want help? Yeah. More like she kind of needed it now.

"Can you see the stuffed unicorn? Is he gone?" Rylee still couldn't bare to look but she would have to sooner or later. "Can you get him out of here?" Here as in the swamp. She didn't have to help her get out if she didn't want to if she was able to save the stuffed creature.
