A shiny hematite could be found... Might want to quick; it is close enough to the ground to be chewed on by anything small that might be inclined to.

Roman sniffed at the stone for a little bit with a proud look on his face. He'd helped to find that! While he didn't know what it was, he knew the woman was keeping it, and that was a good thing right? Jack chuckled at him and patted him on the head as he came back before digging in the dirt again. She was sure there were some good things down there, she just had to find them, and she would do that with the help of Roman she knew. Jack pushed her hair back with a smile, at least this was proving somewhat fruitful, she had to be pleased with that much at least. Giving a little shrug to herself, she kept digging for awhile to see if there was anything else to be found in the hole. They were pretty close to the entrance though, so she doubted it would happen.

She just needed to find some stones to make this trip worthwhile other than socializing her Sarane that is. If she needed to, she could sell them to one of the stores in town, which would get her a nice chunk of credits, she figured. Jack managed a sigh, she didn't know what to do right now and that was fine, she just hoped things would work out between the two of them after he was all grown. That was the thing that needed to bother her more than the stones, but for some reason it just didn't at this point. Jack sighed a little and shook her head, unsure of what to do with things right now and all that. It didn't matter, she supposed, but as long as things worked out between them she would be perfectly fine. Stretching out her shoulders, Jack dug into the floor of the mines again.

All she had to do was get him grown and then she could come back with Zhalo. That was it, right? She sighed a little and leaned on her shovel, wondering what to do for the moment. It didn't really matter right now, they needed to get down a little further into the mines but he was so close to being full grown she didn't know if that would be smart. She had plenty of darts though, so maybe... Jack frowned a little and shook her head, she didn't know if she could risk it, but there was nothing else for her to do at the moment was there? It didn't matter, she figured as she looked over at Roman, as long as they were together then things would be perfectly fine, she figured with a little smile on her face. She just needed to get him grown, that was all there was to it.

Roman didn't know what was going to happen for a little while, but that was fine at the same time. He sighed a little as he started to dig around in the ground again, it was annoying, but he enjoyed it at the same time, which was strange. Jack wasn't sure what he was thinking, he was a quiet Sarane at least, and that was fine, she didn't need a bunch of talking right now or anything. She sighed a little and started to dig again, hoping things would be fine no matter what. At least she was okay with nothing happening, as long as he grew up for awhile and all would be good. Jack moved around a little and started to dig a bit again, and she smiled a little when she saw something glinting back at her. It was in the wall for awhile, she only saw one surface of it right now.

As long as everything turned out fine, she would be happy, she figured as she dug away at the stone with some of her other tools. It was really wedged in there, but her luck wasn't all that great at the moment, only finding one stone at a time. Usually she found clusters, but not today! Jack sighed a little and glanced over at Roman as she tried to pry the hematite out of the hole, for that's what it was, and she should know, she used to have a ton of them. Now she didn't have very many, but that was fine, not many people wanted hematite anyway, which worked for her because it was a rather dull stone. Usually she liked silvery things, but not hematite, it was boring and she didn't enjoy it too much. Ah well, it was a stone, she figured as she glanced over at Roman for a bit.

Roman still wanted to find some things in the mines while they were there, and so he dug with more gusto as the woman leaned on her shovel, just watching him a little bit at this point. She didn't know what to do, she wanted to go further into the mines, but it probably wasn't a good idea with how big he was getting. Giving a sigh, she shook her head, she just didn't know what to do and that was the worst part of all of it. Nothing bad was going to happen, she knew that, unless he grew up quickly and she couldn't get a dart into him or something like that, that would be a bad day. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled a little at the Sarane as he dug, getting his hide all dirty as he did so. Maybe she would give him a bath after the breaking.

The breaking was going to be intense, she figured and all that, and she shivered a little at the thought of it, not from fear, but from excitement. She loved the thrill of breaking a tier three Drake, even the Hens were a handful, she figured with a grin. Roman would be the same as all of them she thought, but that was going to be great. At least she enjoyed it, she wouldn't do it if she didn't like doing it or anything. Whatever happened, it was going to be fun she knew, and she smiled a little as she watched him dig around in the dirt. At least he was having fun before he became a raging beast, it wouldn't do until now and all that, but she smiled a little as she realized he was doing well. As long as that happened, then she would be alright at the same time.

Jack and Roman had to figure things out for awhile, she thought as she started to dig next to the Sarane again, making sure not to hit him or anything at this point. That would be the worst, she figured with a little sigh, she didn't want to hurt him before the breaking or anything, that wouldn't do at all. Sure there were healers there, but she didn't think they would be alright with him already being hurt before the breaking or anything. Jack reached out and patted him on the head before digging some more, hoping to find something in the dirt before it was time to take him out and break him. She sighed a little, unsure of what to do right now, but that was fine as well, at least she had some small idea of what was going to happen, either they would find something in the mines or they wouldn't.

Just a little while longer and he would be full grown, she knew. It was a point of pride that she understood Sarane so well, she figured, and she felt herself swell up a little with a smile on her face. Jack pushed her hair back and shook her head a little, loosening up her curls a bit before she began to dig in the dirt again next to Roman. So far there was nothing else to be found, but she was sure there was going to be something there no matter what. Jack swore when she hit a rock, the reverberation shocking her arms a little when it happened. She didn't know what to do about that, but she reached down and tried to drag the big rock out of the floor of the mines, but it wouldn't budge. She sighed a little and hopped into the hole, surprising the Sarane a little.

She was fine, she assured Roman with a smile, and she turned to the rock and started to try and pry it out of the wall a little bit. It was annoying, but it was worth it she figured, if there was something behind it. Maybe now things would be fine as time went on, and she shook her head a little as she pried and pulled at the rock to try and get it out of the floor of the mines. Jack wiped her forehead of the sweat that was beading there, and smiled a little as she finally managed to get the big rock out of the hole and chucked it up onto the floor of the mines somewhere near the hole. It was time to be done now, and she grabbed the shovel again and started to dig once more, Roman by her side for the moment at least.

All she really had to do was keep going and all would be well, she figured with a little smile on her face. Roman was almost fully grown, just a little while longer and then it would be time to break him, she knew. Pushing a hand through her hair, she hoped that things would go well between them, considering his rudder tail would make him almost impossible to catch in the air. His grandfather, Alexei, would be able to catch him easily, however. Alexei had the training to catch pretty much any Sarane anywhere, and she smiled a little, she had worked hard with him and he had won battles and tournaments and everything like that. He'd been bred twice by her, once by someone else who'd had him before she did, and she didn't regret it or anything. At least Roman had come from that line, that had to count for something!

Already his horns were getting big, soon they would be huge and she would need guards for them during the breaking. She really didn't want to get knocked out by those horns during the breaking, that wouldn't be good at all. Giving a wince, she wrapped her arms around Roman's neck for a moment in a hug before she smiled and let him go to go back to digging. Everything would be fine, she knew, and she hoped that things would work out between them after awhile at the same time. Maybe she just needed to focus on the mines right now and not the Sarane, that would work the best. What happened if she didn't socialize him enough anyway? She would have a hard time getting him to where he needed to be if that was the case, and she didn't want a rampaging Sarane running around the kennel or the farm either.

Perhaps it was for the best they did it this way, she really didn't know, but that was fine at the same time. Jack pushed her hair back with a little grin, wondering what Roman would look like fully grown. He was almost there though, so she just transplanted another tier three Drake's horns onto him to see what he might look like. It was going to be great, she knew he would be, and she smiled a little as she reached out to trace one of his stripes. Everything would work out in the end, they would all see at that. Smiling a little, she nodded and then went to dig again for awhile, wondering if they would find anything good or not, she really didn't know. Maybe whenever she brought Zhalo here to the mines then things would be fine at the same time. Maybe he could help her find things that weren't able to be found otherwise.

She really needed to stop thinking about Zhalo and start thinking more about Roman though. She knew he was almost fully grown though, maybe that was the issue, she always thought about the future, but she needed to think about the now. Jack sighed a little and shook her head, she probably wouldn't change, that was the issue with that at the moment, but that was fine all the same. She just hoped she could figure it out later on and all that. Twisting a lock of hair around her forefinger, she watched as Roman continued to dig, not upset about their lack of progress, it seemed. Or at least, their lack of finding anything at this point. Jack shrugged a little and shook her head, it wasn't like she had to find something in the mines every time, it was simply nice to find things no matter what happened and all that.
