Skye, eyes wide, jumped to her feet. She grabbed Robin's and Cels's hands and dragged them out.
"Go! I'll help them here!" she shouted.

"I-I have a big brother named Grayson, he's four years older than me." Robin fidgeted with his hands a bit. "My parents were travelling with me… b-but I don't know where they are…" He looked away, trying to blink tears away from his eyes.
"What?" Robin stood next to Celestia, unsure what to do, or where he was supposed to go.
The wood went silent. Mihaka and Dara were stuck, and they were surrounded by 30 some men and women. They were utterly trapped.
"Ugh," Skye groaned, then turned back to Cels and Robin. "Okay. I'm staying with you, but we need to come up with a plan to get Dara and Mihaka back."
When Skye rushed out, one of the Herti threw a spear at her. "Go! Help Cels, and Robin!" Mihaka yelled.
"Mihaka," Dara whispered, on the verge of a panic attack, "I don't understand what they're saying. Translate, please."
Robin froze in fear, staring wide-eyed at the armed natives coming closer to them.
"C'mon, guys! Let's move it!" Skye shouted, grabbing their hands and running.
"They said, 'Leave the tent, these are the ones we can use.' and told the others to kill all who stand in their way." Mihaka said fearfully.
Robin ran alongside Skye, trying not to hyperventilate. Passing out would be highly inconvenient at the moment.
"Ask them what they want with us," she wheezed, "ask them!"
"Why do you need her? I'm more useful, leave her!" Mihaka said in the native language.
The warriors glared at them. "Their plane crashed on our land, scum. We have need of her knowledge."
Robin and the others found a hiding place and stayed in it for a while. Now that they were away from the immediate danger, Robin started to breathe more quickly. He leaned back against a tree weakly, now unable to control his breathing.
The warriors glared at them. "Their plane crashed on our land, scum. We have need of her knowledge."
(In english or the native tongue?)
"Robin? Robin, what's wrong?" Skye questioned, noticing his irregular breathing.

"W-we're gonna die here… the.. t-the plane was bad enough, b-but now the people living here want us dead too!" His eyes brimmed with tears and he sat against the tree, heart pounding.
Skye sat down next to him and tried to comfort him. "Hey. Hey, it's okay," she soothed. "We'll be fine. I promise."
Robin was dangerously close to a panic attack, so he started to tear up leaves in an attempt to calm himself down. His heart felt as though it would leap out of his chest.
It was a three days walk. The Herti left Skye, Cels, and Robin alone, and dragged Mihaka and Dara to the village.
"Robin. Hey, hey. Just breathe, okay?" Skye instructed. "Deep breath in, slowly let it out."
"Dara, I have escaped many times alone. We gain their- Not trust - but make them think we gave up. Then, we seize the chance, when it comes, to run. Trust me on this."
He attempted to follow her instructions, drawing in shaky breaths and quickly exhaling. It was about the best he could do, but he was trying.
