There was a little tunnel she had uncovered in the wall, though she didn't want to go through it just yet. Vary was the best size to go through, but she knew he would either take off and never return, or he would be too scared to go into the little tunnel. Either way, she would never know what was on the other side, and that was an issue. Of course if she scooted along on her stomach she could get through it, but she doubted that would work too well, she'd probably get stuck. Jack frowned a little and shook her head, she was going to have to open up the tunnel a little more to find out what was in there, the thrumming was deep inside of the tunnel, she could barely feel it, and part of her wondered if she was going to find it or an animal at this point.

All she could really do was hope that things would be alright for awhile if she opened up the tunnel. Vary wasn't going to help her out too much just yet, he still didn't trust her or anything, not that she blamed him at all. He was a jumpy halfbreed, and she hoped that things would work out between them eventually, but if not, she understood. It would eventually work out between them, or at least she hoped so, but if not, well then... she wasn't sure what to do. Jack sighed a little as Vary peeked out of the cart. At least he seemed a little intrigued by things at the moment, though she didn't think that was going to happen anytime soon. Hopefully things would be alright and they could find some good stuff, but if not, then she might have to switch out for Goran again or something.

She just hoped they would find some crystals for her so she could make another node next year. That was the main goal of this trip. Honestly she almost had enough to make another hollow node, but where was the fun in that? She liked to have a nice plethora of things to work with, and if she was going to get a familiar, well, she needed all the help she was going to get she figured. Jack pushed a hand through her hair, they were getting dirty from her digging, but she didn't care. Vary just needed to get in there with her at this point, though she knew he wouldn't just yet, not until he trusted her as much as a Sarane she was breaking did. It was odd to figure out how things would work between the two types of animals since they were so different, and that was fine.

A pretty little topaz was sticking out of the rock wall where it could be easily detected.

Jack was back, this time with a Sarane again. It had been awhile since she'd brought a Sarane with her to the mines, and while Roman might not fit in too well in the mines, he was still going to come with her. At least it would be easy to cart him out of there with the cart and all that, she figured. Jack stretched out her shoulders and stared into the gaping maw of the mines, wondering what she was going to find this time. She grinned, hoping to find something good, she wished she had more to work with, and things to do with the stones once she got them, but the Workshop was still closed, something that she had to deal with from time to time as she made plans for things. Ah well, it didn't really matter, she just hoped that things would be fine in the long run.

All she could do was hope to find some good stuff while she socialized the Sarane hatchling, that was the main goal of things, the material rewards were second to that at the moment. If she really wanted to focus on the stones, she would bring a familiar, but until then, she was just going to deal with things the way she wanted to at the moment. All she needed to do was walk with him for a little while, grow him, break him, and then come back with Zhalo. It was going to be perfect she figured with a grin, and she shook her head at the same time. She didn't know what she was going to do with things right now, but that was alright all the same. At least she had some idea of what to do, dig for stones while Roman hung around like he always did.

Roman didn't care much for enclosed spaces, and he figured the woman knew that, but here they were, heading into the mines where he couldn't use his rudder tail for much of anything. He sighed a little but trotted after her as she entered the mines and looked around as they did so. It was going to be great in here, he had to convince himself of that at the moment, it was the only way he could get himself to go. Sighing again, he hoped they wouldn't be here long, he could tell it was going to be rough, but shiny things were in the walls, at least that's what the woman told him, and that was good enough for her at the moment. Jack smiled at him when he double checked with her that's what they were doing, and she nodded again. Getting shiny things out of the walls, definitely.

She really hoped to find some crystals, though whether or not she was going to be able to find any was the real question. It wasn't like she needed everything in order to find things, or maybe she did, she really didn't know. She'd found them without a bunch of stuff before though, and she made sure Roman was still following by the cart she was pulling as she headed into the mines a little deeper. She didn't want to get too deep, just in case he had a growth spurt, but there was nothing she could do about it now. Jack made her way down an incline and then stopped at the bottom, grabbing her shovel and starting to dig. Roman seemed intrigued by this and started digging a little as well, though he was nowhere near as good as Goran was at it, it seemed. Oh well, at least he was trying.

All she could do was hope she could feel a little thrumming that wasn't coming from the nodes she carried with her at all times. You never knew if you were going to need magic, after all. Jack sighed a little as she dug, pleased with the way things were going at the moment. Roman was trying to help her out, which was more than she could ask for at the moment, and she smiled a little as they both dug in relative silence. At least it was nice getting out of the kennel every now and then for him, though he would like to be out much more than this. It didn't matter though, she figured, and she smiled a little as she reached over to pat the big hatchling's head. It was going to be great, she knew it would be, and that was all there was to it. That and crystals.

What a strange little stone, all purple and green varying.

Jack just hoped that she would figure things out with the Sarane as they dug. She dug away at the floor of the mines for awhile, resting briefly from time to time. She glanced over at the hatchling and smiled, he was about two thirds of his full size, which meant she was getting close to breaking him, which was always a good thing at this point. She wanted to break him quickly and get to working with Zhalo already, hoping she could get that done before the cross had to be bought. The Labs were only taking so many, and it was taking awhile for them to get made anymore, which was fine for her at the moment, but still she wished it would happen a little quicker, at least when she had things ready. Maybe she would use Suros if she couldn't get Zhalo grown and broken before then, but that would defeat the purpose.

Hopefully she would find some good stuff with Roman at her side, but she kind of doubted that was going to happen. She just hoped they could find some familiars she could pay Gig to break down after awhile as well, it would work out no matter what and all that, and she smiled a little to herself as she thought about it. After the end of it all she could revel in the gems they would find, if they found anything good at the moment and all that. Giving a little sigh, she leaned against the wall of the mines and watched as Roman dug around at the moment in the hole he was focusing on. There must be something down there, but... maybe not at the same time, he didn't know what was going to be down there at all, he wasn't a creature of the mines at all.

Roman was having fun at least, and his claws were making quick work of the dirt. Not as much as the gargoyle tended to, Goran, but that wasn't fine at the same time. She frowned a little as she watched him, she should be happy he was so happy with what he was doing, but it felt odd at the same time. Jack sighed a little and shook her head, she didn't know what was wrong with her at the moment, but that was fine... Ugh, it needed to work itself out, whatever funk she was getting herself into again, it didn't need to happen. Maybe she needed that halfbreed again... No one had gone for her, so maybe it was meant to be, she figured it might be at the same time. Shaking her head again, she watched as Roman dug around in the dirt of the mines, hoping to find something good.

If anything, she should be happy he was having fun and being productive, but... what could she do? Anyway, it didn't really matter she figured as the shovel dug into the dirt of the mines, everything would be fine, they would find some good stuff, already she was feeling a little thrumming, faint, but there. She smiled a little to herself, she was probably the only one who could feel it of the duo at the moment, which was fine, maybe once it got close enough Roman would be able to feel it, but she kind of doubted it at the same time. Sighing a little to herself, she hoped they would find something soon, it was boring in the mines if you didn't find anything good for awhile and all that. Oh well, it didn't matter much at the moment, she wasn't really trying for anything after all, she was just trying to socialize Roman.

Pleased with herself for getting out of the funk she had been in, she dug with a little more gusto right next to Roman. She figured she would dig in the area he was digging in just in case, and she figured there had to be something there for them to find after all. Maybe he could sniff something out, because not long after, she found an alexandrite, one of the hardest stones in the Labs, which was irritating to cut, but at least it was pretty to look at when it was done. Sighing a little, she tossed it into the cart and hoped they wouldn't find all of these at the moment, it would just be aggravating at this point, though she wasn't sure what else to call it right now. Roman just seemed thrilled to find something and sniffed at it a little after trotting over to the cart.
