Lion Head Mesa Earthly scene

i'm the worst i'm so sorry this is so late ;_; my muse has been struggling

Eset wasn't going anywhere, nor was Inji; at least, she hoped neither of them would have to. Okay, and she affirms this to herself as much as she does for Eset, for friendship, for some form of sickly sisterhood that could be scraped from the bottom of this frightening situation.
This is, um, a stupid question, blinking back the tears, she begrudgingly peels herself away from the rawboned limbs of Eset. She spots the red soil swept up from between the rubble, and her head tilts. but how do we... get the silt?
She leans down to snuffle at it, which, in turn, blows away a dusting of the ugly sad dirt that was not needed. Do we, like, carry it in our mouths? Or something?
