[This is new!! It's not that Siffrin hasn't been in danger before, but this is the first time it's happened since they recovered from being fog-sick. Apparently their body was conserving its energy.]
Um. Glowing?? [Apparently??]
[They wriggle again, alarmed and trying to figure out where on their body the glowing is coming from. (The answer is: all of it.) And also again, they have to stop abruptly as soon as their foot starts to slip.]
[Okay, if they don't figure this out in the next minute or so, they are going to fall. Worrying about the glowing in a second! Priorities! At least it makes it easier to actually pick out vines from the dark surroundings, and easier to tell which ones are close.]
[Siffrin finds the nearest sturdy-looking vine - definitely out of reach - and resignedly tracks the length of it down to where the end dangles near Laios's right forepaw.]
[Their shoulders hunch up awkwardly, but they do ask:] Can you reach that vine? To your right? [And pull it closer?]
